Thursday morning saw triumphant chaos in NYC, as Knicks fans flooded the streets to catch a glimpse of NBA Finals Champions the New York Knicks at their ticker-tape homecoming parade.

Subway stations at Chambers and Fulton Streets were shut down and bypassed by 9 AM on the morning commute, as fans struggled to get a viewing spot on the parade route hours earlier.

The parade starts at 10 AM, beginning at Battery Park and traveling uptown to City Hall, where Mayor Zohran Mamdani will present the team with the keys to the city.
