[All-Access]“We brought the trophy home. Let’s party, baby, let’s party. Knicks in 5.” Jose Alvarado, the New York Native, celebrates with the crowd at the New York Knicks Championship Parade.
New York native being part of a team that brought a long-awaited championship back to the city is the ultimate dream
every Knicks fan has dreamt of being on that float parading down your city. Jose is living it!
Empathy is carrying a lot of weight for my feelings about the series. Happy for these guys as individuals.
Jose is so Puerto Rican I love it so much man 🤣
How do you know someone’s Puerto Rican? Just wait two seconds and they will bring out the flag. 💁🏽♀️
This is true. But also, the accent is second to none, even if they’re speaking English. I grew up in Florida and ppl instantly know I’m Puerto Rican 🤣
And if you’re speaking Spanish the “l” at the end will give it away. Vamo’ a gozaLLLL 🇵🇷
Alvarado basically doesn’t have to play basketball anymore. Move home and live like a king in Brooklyn
Where’s Jeremy
Happy for these guys
parade is surprisingly low energy
I had friends go in today and they said if you weren’t there before 6 am you couldn’t get close. These people must be exhausted lol.
My buddy got there at 5:30 only to be met with a line stemming 2 blocks from the parade
People Been out there signs 4am, I know they gotta piss
weather ain’t great today
it’s incredibly humid out
I live in Brooklyn, it’s a little gray but certainly not uncomfortable in any way.
Yeah you went way harder at your team’s championship parade

So that was you throwing or getting whacked with a beer can? BTW glad I wasn’t there lmao
Probably haven’t stopped drinking since that night
People been out there since like 4-5 am and had to deal with the NYPD screening to get in, so it’s easy to see why some are burned out. Also, this is only one part of the parade
brutal, sounds poorly planned
Not poorly planned, just NYC has a lot of people and the Knicks are the only basketball team (no one is a Nets fan) they support. Plus this was a ticker tape parade which occurs in a very specific area of the city of around 10 or so blocks and ends at City Hall, so everyone is condensed in one area
You just described why it was poorly planned
Poor planning is not preparing for something adequately. They had 10,000 NYPD officers for screening so nothing crazy would happen. The ticker tape parade route is a prestigious tradition in NYC. The Giants went through the same route as do all NY sports team champions and other politicians, military members, etc. There’s nothing else they could have realistically done, the Knicks went 53 years without a championship so everyone from the city amd metro area wants to be apart of the history
make route longer
Extremely hard to do in NYC, and you can’t make the route longer if it’s gonna end at City Hall. Battery park is already the bottom tip of Manhattan. Realistically you can’t extend it to MSG either because of how much traffic you would have to redirect for a route that long (especially train stations would be overcapacity in an already busy place like Midtown/Times Square). It was already a lot of work just for the area around MSG alone for Trump
Nyc marathon is 26.2 miles long and they manage.
It’s 2 million people out here
on their phones
Yes, recording and documenting the moment so they won’t forget it. What wrong with a once in a lifetime moment. Cause the knicks only winning 1!
It’s been going on for like 3h at this point though
Knicks in 5
Embiid could never
Fun fact! He’s half Mexican. But we wouldn’t know that cause he reps his Puerto Rican side more. 🤷🏽♀️
Really? Shameful. He’s going to visit Trump, this tracks
Ramblin Wreck from Ga Tech! Proud of him and happy for him! Fuck the Knicks, tho.
i see that light blue flag 👀
