It’s time to paint New York blue and orange.
Less than a week after winning the NBA Finals and ending a 53-year title drought, the New York Knicks’ celebration continues with a time-honored New York City tradition of a tape parade through the Canyon of Heroes.
It’s going to be a beautiful morning, albeit a bit humid, and I hope it doesn’t rain during the procession.


All members of the team and coaching staff will participate in the parade. Knicks legends Walt “Clyde” Frazier and Patrick Ewing are also said to be in the mix. The parade will culminate in a celebration at City Hall, where Mayor Zoran Mamdani will award the team with the keys to the city. Alicia Keys then concludes with a performance of her hit “Empire State of Mind.”
While millions head downtown to catch a glimpse of the champions, those across the country won’t be left behind. There are many networks that air the parade. Here’s what you need to know:
