The 53-year wait is over for New York Knicks fans, and Lower Manhattan streets have been filled since sunrise.
The Knicks’ championship parade will conclude at City Hall, where fans will be met with a glaring mistake.
The building is filled with banners similar to those that hang from the Madison Square Garden rafters for retired numbers, including one for each player on the current roster.Â
The starting five of Jalen Brunson, OG Anunoby, Karl-Anthony Towns, Mikal Bridges and Josh Hart hang in the main view, with other role players on the sides.
One banner was displayed for Dillon Jones, who played just 39 minutes for the team this season and did not step on the court during the playoffs.
CHAOS UNFOLDS IN NEW YORK CITY AFTER KNICKS WIN FIRST NBA CHAMPIONSHIP IN DECADES
Despite his limited time on the floor, Jones, who wore No. 1 with the Knicks, was somehow given the honor of having his name above No. 33 on his banner.
ESPN lists Jones as wearing No. 33, but the number has been retired since 2003 for Patrick Ewing.
With the Oklahoma City Thunder last year, Jones wore No. 3, and, according to @NBA_NewYork on X, Jones only wore No. 33 during the 2024 Summer League and in preseason with the Washington Wizards.
But, apparently, two-time NBA champions get treated a bit differently in New York.

The parade will run down the “Canyon of Heroes” for the first championship parade for New York in the four major leagues since 2012 after the NFL’s New York Giants won Super Bowl XLVI.
