Someone cut 130 pieces of paper and took them around New York City to recreate the OG Anunoby game-winning tip-in from Game 4 of the NBA Finals. This is creativity and execution beyond belief.Knicks on parade!NYC celebrates a titleThe championship celebration began Saturday night when the New York Knicks closed out the San Antonio Spurs in Game 5. As Jalen Brunson lit up the Spurs for 45 points, the Knicks broke their 53-year title drought. From there, it’s been a lot of partying, TV appearances and even some first pitches thrown at Yankee Stadium. Yesterday, we finally got the Knicks parade in the city.We had Knicks on buses, players jumping down to join the flood of people who mobbed the streets, fans being allowed to touch that once-elusive Larry O’Brien trophy and a whole lot of speeches at City Hall with local officials and Knicks brass. I was not in attendance, but I did watch the majority of it on the NBA app. Here are the highlights of the day:Fun speeches! NYC mayor Zohran Mamdani gave an impassioned speech about how long Knicks fans waited for this, and he even went through great moments in Knicks history, along with just randomly naming Knicks from the past. The more recent players he named? Carmelo Anthony (obviously), Amar’e Stoudemire (of course), Kristaps Porziņģis (naturally), Langston Galloway (impressive), Lance Thomas (you have my attention) and Toney Douglas (OK, maybe he’s really about this life).Brunson gave his speech to the fans about essentially silencing the critics. His ability to lead a team to a championship at his size was questioned for a long time. This was the part that will get clipped, memed and passed around:“There’s a lot of people who have a lot of negative stuff to say. There’s a lot of people who have their own opinions. But when you prove them wrong, you don’t have to say s— to them. They don’t deserve it.”It came after Mike Brown gave his speech and started making people sing “Who Let The Dogs Out,” which has become a recurring bit. Brunson addressed that as well:“I don’t know how many times I tell Mike to stop doing that s—.”Jalen Brunson speaks at the Knicks championship paradeAwkward speeches! Two awkward speech moments came to mind. None of them were from team president Leon Rose, who struggled to speak into the microphone at first. People on the stage were yelling at him to speak up and speak into the mic. He eventually did. It’s almost like he doesn’t address the media or public all that often? But that wasn’t the awkward part!
