New York Knicks fans made sure they got the most out of their 53-year wait — at least, those who were able to get inside the parade. Millions gathered in New York’s Canyon of Heroes, as many fans were turned away well before the parade started due to crowds.
Parade Details
Before the Knicks took part in the parade, several fans were seen climbing on top of police cars, while others gathered on top of a sanitation truck and building awnings. Subway stations were packed near sunrise, including some in which hopeful attendees were unable to even exit. Roads and entry points to the parade were closed, leaving countless people out of the parade route.
In total, 72 vehicles were driven up Broadway to celebrate the team’s first title since 1973, and 10,000 officers were deployed. The Knicks won each of the first two games in San Antonio before losing Game 3 and then completing the largest comeback in NBA Finals history in Game 4, battling back from down 29 points.
