[Photo Gallery] Knicks Championship Parade

A New York celebration 53 years in the making. On June 13th, 2026, the New York Knicks ended that wait and brought back home the NBA Championship trophy not seen in the city since 1973. And on June 18th, the team finally got their chance to celebrate with their fans for their Knicks Championship Parade down the Canyon of Heroes.

Entire generations have not see an NBA championship in New York City. When it comes to basketball: no parties, no famed ticker tape parades, no celebrations since 1973. Sure the Knicks have come close to winning, but close doesn't cut it when you're playing in NYC.

The win was long awaited, and the energy was noticeable in the city. People being kind to one another, greeting each other in the streets, offering helping hands; it seems like one big collective sigh and stress was lifted off NYC. The joy is clearly visible in this gallery of photos captured by Andrew Baron-Groomes.
