@brutamerica: The parade drew an estimated 2 million people and was the first ticker-tape parade honoring the Knicks.  More than 2 million people packed Lower Manhattan on Thursday for the first-ever ticker-tape parade celebrating the New York Knicks. Fans dressed in orange and blue filled the sidewalks and climbed onto delivery trucks, lampposts, newsstands and structures near City Hall to get a view of the team along the Canyon of Heroes. The celebration capped weeks of excitement across New York during the Knicks’ NBA Finals run. The Knicks defeated the San Antonio Spurs to claim their first NBA championship since 1973, ending a 53-year title drought. #knicks #newyorkknicks #nba #newyorkcity #championshipparade
