Knicks Get Their First Even Ticker-Tape Parade

It has been a historic run for the New York Knicks.

This was the first time since 1999 that the Knicks have made it to the NBA Finals. Ironically, they lost to the San Antonio back in 99, but obviously the outcome was much different this time around.

This postseason, the Knicks went 16-3 and are now NBA Champions for the first time in 53 years and will get their very first ticker-tape parade.
