New Yorkers are set to fete the Knicks with a ticker-tape parade

New York is celebrating the Knicks in classic style Thursday, throwing a ticker-tape parade for the team that brought home the NBA championship longed for by generations of fans. The Knicks' victory — after a 53-year drought - has electrified New Yorkers, and Mayor Zohran Mamdani has predicted that Thursday’s parade might be one of the biggest in the city's history. Although the Knicks won the championship twice in the 1970s, the city didn't host a parade for them either time.
