Summary
Broadway filled with confetti, blue-and-orange banners and cheering fans as the Knicks celebrated their NBA title with a parade to City Hall through the Canyon of Heroes.
The procession marked the franchise's first championship parade, even though it was not the team's first championship, giving New York a long-awaited public celebration.
City Hall became the focal point of the event, with Mayor Eric Adams riding in a float in a Josh Hart jersey and declaring, "This is our city. This is our team."
For fans such as Brooklyn College student Jean Dales, wearing a Marcus Camby jersey, the parade capped a playoff run they saw as historic and deeply personal.
