New York is marking the Knicks’ championship run that lasts nearly two months, with celebrations continuing after the team returns home. Multiple outlets describe the city as being visibly swept up in the run, with orange fan gear common throughout the area for weeks, likened to a seasonal holiday atmosphere. Coverage says festivities are expected to extend for at least a few more days following the return, centered on the Knicks’ first parade through New York in decades. Yahoo Sports and Inquirer.net report the parade is scheduled for Thursday, and note that the team did not hold a parade in 1970 or 1973, framing the event as a notable homecoming celebration. City News Toronto and The Independent similarly emphasize the long period of local enthusiasm and the likelihood that the run will be remembered beyond the immediate celebrations. Overall reporting focuses on the scale and duration of the fan and city reaction, alongside the parade date and historical comparison to earlier Knicks parades.
