Overview

  • The New York Knicks clinched the NBA championship in Game 5 on Saturday, ending a 53-year title drought.
  • Hundreds of thousands lined a Broadway route into the Canyon of Heroes for a ticker-tape confetti parade that used about 1.1 tonnes of recycled paper.
  • Finals MVP Jalen Brunson was a center of attention during the parade and the team received a symbolic key to the city from Mayor Zohran Mamdani at City Hall.
  • The NYPD deployed more than 10,000 officers for the celebration, imposed an entry stop hours before the parade because of crowding, and had made 63 arrests in earlier post-title unrest.
  • Team owner James Dolan said the Knicks accepted a White House invitation from President Donald Trump but details and whether players will attend remain unresolved, a development that could carry political and logistical fallout.
