New York Celebrates Knicks’ First NBA Title in 53 Years
New York is celebrating the Knicks’ NBA championship with a massive parade through the city center, following the franchise’s first title in 53 years. The event, reported by Sport 5 and published on June 18, 2026 at 19:08, has effectively shut down much of downtown Manhattan as fans fill the streets.
According to estimates, millions of supporters are taking part in the celebrations. Videos show players joining the crowd and celebrating with fans as the championship parade moves through the city.
Jose Alvarado shouted into the microphones, “We did it, we brought the trophy, now it is time to celebrate.” Head coach Mike Brown also came down to the fans and sang with them “Who let the dogs out,” a song that has become associated with him.
The article says the parade is ongoing, with the city center largely closed off so the festivities can continue. The Knicks’ long-awaited title has triggered one of the city’s biggest sports celebrations in decades.
