Knicks guard and New York native Jose Alvarado shares his thoughts on being part of the city’s largest parade: "I'm from [New York] ... it just hits home different, you know? I've been a Knicks fan since I was born."
16 wins. Just 3 losses. 🤯
En route to their championship, the Knicks became just the 3rd team to go 16-3 or better in the Playoffs since 2003 (when the NBA expanded to best-of-seven in all rounds), joining the 2017 Warriors (16-1) and 2024 Celtics (16-3).
As New York City celebrated a Knicks championship last night, the men and women of the NYPD were working across all five boroughs to keep people safe.
That included dealing with a relatively small number of people who used celebration as an “excuse” to turn to violence.
Many cops worked long, grueling tours. Many came in on their days off. And many went straight from a long night into the Puerto Rican Day Parade and FIFA watch parties this morning.
To every cop who put themselves at risk to ensure others could celebrate safely: thank you for your noble service.
This city is grateful.
