New York City broke a city record as it deployed more than 10,000 police officers to provide security at the event. <\/p>\n

The viewpoints for watching the parade reached maximum capacity hours before the event even began. Fans crowded outside of the checkpoints, but no more fans were let in to watch the celebration. <\/p>\n

The parade saw a star-studded cast as the players were joined by Ben Stiller, Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet, Spike Lee, Martha Stewart and many others. <\/p>\n

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and New York Gov. Kathy Hochul also attended the celebration. <\/p>\n

Ceremony and speeches<\/h3>\n

Following the drive through the city, the team held a ceremony where several people gave speeches. <\/p>\n

Jalen Brunson, the team\u2019s Finals MVP, thanked his team and said, \u201cSomehow, some way, I knew we were going to find a way to get this done.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMost importantly,\u201d Brunson continued, \u201cthank you to the fans. Not gonna lie, though, y\u2019all are some pretty hard critics.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mamdani presented players and team owner James Dolan with keys to the city before giving a speech. <\/p>\n

\u201cFor 53 long years, we have watched and we have waited,\u201d the mayor said. \u201cWe have watched alone from our apartments with our heads in our hands, shoulder to shoulder at bars where the signal flickers, alongside friends and family.\u201d<\/p>\n

The speech continued with shoutouts to iconic Knicks moments that happened while they awaited a championship to return to the city.<\/p>\n

\u201cNew York City,\u201d Mamdani said, \u201cthis team has done it. The New York Knicks are NBA champions.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo often when this city comes together, it is because we are forced to by a moment of tragedy or adversity. What a gift it is to be brought together by pure, unfiltered joy.\u201d<\/p>\n

The celebrations ended as confetti was blown into the sky covering the team, fans and streets. <\/p>\n
