New Yorkers are set to fete the Knicks with a ticker-tape parade

New York is preparing to celebrate a historic championship win by the Knicks with a ticker-tape parade after a 53-year title drought. Mayor Zohran Mamdani says the event could be one of the biggest in the city’s history. The parade is set to begin at 10 a.m. Thursday near Battery Park, tracing a Broadway route through the Canyon of Heroes to City Hall, where the players will receive the traditional keys to the city. Knicks legends Walt 'Clyde' Frazier and Patrick Ewing are expected to participate, and Mike Breen will emcee the City Hall ceremony. Alicia Keys has been tapped to perform, adding a star-profile soundtrack to the celebration.
