Knicks Stage Massive New York Title Parade After 53-Year Wait
Millions of fans filled the streets of New York on June 18, 2026, to celebrate the New York Knicks' NBA championship, their first in 53 years. The city center was largely shut down for the parade as the team marked the long-awaited title with a huge public celebration.
Video from the scene showed players celebrating alongside the crowd, while organizers estimated that millions of supporters were out in the streets. The festivities reflected the scale of the victory, which ended more than five decades without an NBA crown for the franchise.
Jose Alvarado shouted into microphones, "We did it, we brought the trophy, now it's time to celebrate." Head coach Mike Brown also went down to the fans and sang "Who let the dogs out," a song that has become associated with him.
