New York Knicks fans made sure they got the most out of their 53-year wait — at least, those who were able to get inside the parade.
Millions gathered in New York’s Canyon of Heroes, as many fans were turned away well before the parade started due to crowds.
But those who got in had quite a grand old time — while others certainly pushed the boundaries.
Before the Knicks took part in the parade, several fans were seen climbing on top of police cars, while others gathered on top of a sanitation truck and building awnings.
Subway stations were packed near sunrise, including some in which hopeful attendees were unable to even exit. Roads and entry points to the parade were closed, leaving countless people out of the parade route.
In total, 72 vehicles were driven up Broadway to celebrate the team’s first title since 1973, and 10,000 officers were deployed.
