TICKER TAPE PARADE for @nyknicks next week @NYCMayor says.

The celebration will mark the first ticker-tape parade in Knicks history, Knicks players will be honored at City Hall and get keys to the City.

The New York Knicks win the 2026 NBA championship over the San Antonio Spurs, snapping a 53-year title drought.

A champion constructed with a series of moves over several years; notably Jalen Brunson, OG Anunoby, Josh Hart, Mikal Bridges and Karl-Anthony Towns, then hiring of Mike Brown.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Parade. Thursday. Manhattan.

[NBA @NBA]

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 53 YEARS, THE KNICKS ARE NBA CHAMPIONS 🏆

New York defeats San Antonio 4-1 in the NBA Finals, capturing their third championship in franchise history!

[Office of New York City Comptroller Mark Levine @NYCComptroller]

We did the math for you. Knicks in Four! 🏀
#AlwaysKnicks

I’m grateful that the Knicks watch party outside MSG is happening again. Nothing beats thousands of New Yorkers cheering for their team during historic sports games - sharing the excitement and feeling the energy of our vibrant city. Let’s go Knicks! 🏀

[Oswald Feliz @OswaldFeliz]

NYC cannot be a city where excitement and fun go to die. We should be creating, not eliminating, ways of connecting NYers & ensuring they can enjoy public spaces. Spoke w. @abcnews, @PIX11News, @CBSNews about the NYPD’s decision to shut down the @nyknicks & other watch parties.

[Murray Hill Guy @MurrayHillGuy1]

During the last 11 NY Knicks playoff games crime in NYC has gone down 78% during those hours of the game per NYPD data

Brunson is really Batman

RT @NY1: During a press conference in the Bronx announcing the Office of Community Engagement, Mayor Zohran Mamdani was asked what he would…

[Speaker Julie Menin @SpeakerMenin]

The Mayor’s preliminary budget relies on $3.7 billion from a property tax hike and tapping the Rainy Day Fund — both of which we oppose.

Our plan closes the shortfall without raising taxes, cutting services or staff, or dipping into the Rainy Day Fund.

It began at Team USA Training camp and turned into a game of one-on-one we didn’t know we needed.

Pardon my French, but HOLY CRAP. ❄️🤯

I have NEVER seen a model blend of nearly THIRTY INCHES in #NYC, ever. Not even 2016 had THIS.

This storm could rival that #blizzard for one of the strongest EVER recorded in the city's history ⚠️
