It’s time to paint NYC blue and orange.
Less than a week after winning the NBA Finals and snapping a 53-year title drought, the New York Knicks’ celebration will continue with a time-honored New York City tradition: a ticker-tape parade up in “Kanyon of Heroes”.
It will be a beautiful – if a little humid – morning too hopefully the rain will hold off during the duration of the procession.
Every member of the team, plus the coaching staff, will be part of the parade; Knicks legends Walt “Clyde” Frazier and Patrick Ewing are also said to be in attendance. The parade culminates in a city party where Mayor Zohran Mamdani will give the team the keys to the city. Alicia Keys will close things out with a performance of her hit “Empire State of Mind”.
While millions head downtown to catch a glimpse of the champions, folks at home won’t be left out; there are plenty of networks televising the parade. Here’s what you need to know.
