Knicks Win First NBA Title in 53 Years

The New York Knicks captured their first NBA championship since 1973, defeating the San Antonio Spurs with Finals MVP Jalen Brunson leading the way.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced a ticker-tape parade, with a public lottery for free tickets to the ceremony at City Hall Plaza.

The victory ended one of the longest championship droughts in professional sports.

Fans celebrated across the city, with some even paying over $100 to hold parade spots.
