Brunson and Hart throw out first pitches at Yankee Stadium as Knicks celebrate NBA title
- On Wednesday night, Knicks stars Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart threw ceremonial first pitches at Yankee Stadium before the Yankees faced the Chicago White Sox, continuing the team's victory tour following their first NBA championship since 1973.
- The Knicks captured their first title in 53 years last Saturday with a 94-90 Game 5 victory over the San Antonio Spurs, finishing the postseason 16-3 and winning 13 consecutive playoff games.
- Brunson won NBA Finals MVP after averaging 32.6 points and scoring 45 points in the clinching game, while the players appeared Monday on NBC's The Today Show and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon alongside teammates Karl-Anthony Towns, Mikal Bridges and OG Anunoby on ABC's Good Morning America.
- The celebration continues Thursday as Brunson and Hart join their team for a championship ticker-tape parade in Manhattan starting at 10 a.m., the first for the Knicks since winning championships in 1970 and 1973.
- Hart's connection to Yankees history as great-nephew of retired catcher Elston Howard, whose No. 32 jersey is honored in Monument Park, adds personal significance; Yankees manager Aaron Boone called the Knicks "one of the historic teams" as his club has won seven of its last eight games.
