Tale of the Ticker Tape: The Quirky History Behind the Knicks' First NYC Parade
Mayor Zohran Mamdani predicts Thursday’s celebration could be the largest parade in New York City history.
- On Thursday, New York City will host its first-ever ticker-tape parade for the Knicks, starting at 10 a.m. near Battery Park and concluding at City Hall.
- When the Knicks won titles in 1970 and 1973, the team was not honored with the city's signature procession; Mayor John Lindsay preferred personal, inexpensive gatherings.
- New York's ticker-tape tradition began in the 19th century, though by 1970, budget constraints led John Bud Palmer to reject a $372 bill for a 1969 parade.
- Mayor Zohran Mamdani visited a facility preparing 'Champions Way' signs on Monday, predicting Thursday's celebration might become the largest parade in New York City history.
- The Knicks' return to the historic Canyon of Heroes marks a significant shift after the WNBA's New York Liberty received the city's most recent ticker-tape festivities in 2024.
