Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced a ticker-tape parade and a City Hall ceremony honoring the New York Knicks on Thursday, June 18. The celebration comes after the Knicks won the NBA championship, ending a title drought that lasted decades. The parade falls during Pride Month and the Puerto Rican Day weekend, concentrating major city events into one unusually busy celebration weekend and magnifying its civic significance.

today the brooklyn pride parade was still going on in park slope as the knicks game began and it was a beautiful tapestry of people happy for all sorts of reasons and it was perfect.

New York arrested 63 people out of millions on the streets last night. Everyone was a little "wild." #Knicks 🏆 in 5! 🏀😀 Thousands of Brazilian soccer fans added to the "excitement."

Are people camping out on Broadway yet? I bet they will be by tomorrow. I was joking with someone last week that, if the Knicks won, they’d need to have the parade run from Morningside Heights to the Battery to accommodate the crowds. They should.

Facts: •Brunson is a better player than Wemby. •Spurs were not good defenders, they were effective harassers. •Wemby is a dirty player. •Refs were biased in favor of the spurs. •Other than Brunson and Anunoby, Knicks were hesitant to take shots. •I 💜 NY.

1. They should totally play this at the parade. 2. They should also play that insulting cartoon music the Spurs used for the Knicks' intros in the games in San Antonio.

Good morning all. My little town has had a delightful weekend Flag Day/New Fire Truck celebration with fireworks, music, parade, BBQ, classic car show, and more. While it was a little disorganized everyone had fun. I hope your weekend was as much fun...and the Knicks won!
