It was a full-on party in the streets of Manhattan on Thursday morning as the New York Knicks threw a ticker-tape parade to celebrate their 2026 NBA title. Starting at 10 a.m., players, coaches and more marched and floated along Broadway until they arrived at City Hall, where Mayor Zohran Mamdami presented the team with keys to the city.
It was an emotional and fun-filled day for all involved. It has been 53 years since the Knicks last won a title and 27 years since they last appeared in the NBA Finals, and New Yorkers couldn’t believe they had the opportunity to celebrate this team in this lifetime. Neither could some of the Knicks alumni in attendance, who felt as proud and as emotional about the title as if they had gone out onto the hardwood themselves.
