New York Knicks revel in their NBA victory parade as joyous fans and celebs fill the streets
Jalen Brunson hoisted the championship trophy as 10,000 police officers secured a parade that drew tens of thousands, officials said.
- Jalen Brunson held aloft the golden NBA championship trophy as the New York Knicks celebrated their first title in 53 years with a parade through Manhattan's Canyon of Heroes.

- Police deployed 10,000 officers to secure the event, while The Fire Department transported 30 people to hospitals and treated 31 others at the scene for heat-related emergencies.
- At City Hall, Mayor Zohran Mamdani presented keys to the city to players, coaches, and staff, while Owner James Dolan thanked fans for waiting more than a half-century.
- Musical performances included Alicia Keys singing her 2009 hit "Empire State of Mind", while Anunoby left his parade float to interact with fans holding the NBA Cup.
