@pedestriansport: Video via @New York Bucket List This is what 53 years of waiting sounds like 🗽 The celebrations are spilling out into the streets of New York. Watch the incredible footage above as thousands of fans completely take over the streets of New York to sing “Empire State of Mind” by Alicia Keys at the top of their lungs. Immediately following the final buzzer of Game 5, the entire city erupted into pure street euphoria to celebrate the 2026 NBA Championship victory over the San Antonio Spurs. For a fanbase that has endured over half a century of heartbreak, tough lottery luck and empty postseason runs, this historic milestone represents the ultimate release. Under head coach Mike Brown and Finals MVP Jalen Brunson, the collective weight of the title drought has vanished. New York basketball is officially back on top of the world for the first time since 1973. 🎥: @newyorkbucketlist
