The parade kicked off in Battery Park City, where fans cheered on the team’s stars, including Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns and Josh Hart, who were on top of buses.
The buses made their way down Broadway before dropping off the players at City Hall, where Knicks superstar and NBA Finals MVP Jalen Brunson took to the mic.
Along with thanking his teammates and the coaching staff, Brunson said, “Damn, we really did it.”
He went on, “Somehow, someday, I knew we were going to find a way to get this done. Most importantly, thank you to the fans.”
Brunson wrapped up his speech by addressing the haters.
He said, “There’s a lot of people that have a lot of negative stuff to say. There’s a lot of people who have a lot of opinions. But when you prove them wrong, you really don’t have to say sh*t to them. They don’t deserve it."
