The moment Knicks fans have been waiting 53 years for: Orange and Blue confetti raining down on City Hall while ‘We Are The Champions’ plays
Like the ending of a movie man
That’s coming from a Heat fan. I feel like this team was so likeable even our biggest enemies were appreciating it.
1⁄3 of Miami is from New York right
I wanted to hate the Knicks but I absolutely love this team.
Also Wemby really turned heel
Team so likeable it overcame the owner and fanbase
I’ll give you the owner, but the fan base issue actually great. Violent shit heads are violent shit heads, regardless of the jersey they wear.
All that’s needed is a drone aerial view that slowly zooms out from the stage and shows the whole NYC crowd
Cut to credits….
Theres no way this isnt the closing scene in Ben Stiller’s upcoming documentary.
For real. If someone wrote this script 5 years ago they’d get laughed out of the room.
Ben Stiller’s movie gotta have this as the ending
The actual ending is KAT singing Jay-Z while holding the Larry and the Cousy
I rooted for spurs cuz i like wemby but damn i shed tears of joy when the knicks won. Lowkey wish i was at the parade
This really means something to me man
The last 2 months is the first time I’ve felt like it’s the city that never sleeps again since COVID
It’s gonna be a great summer
I was tearing up the entire time
Why? You do realize your life stays literally the same no matter who wins. Unless you’re a player, coach, front office personnel or you bet life changing money on them, it doesn’t matter.
Knicks could win 5 championships in a row and your life doesn’t change.
You will still have to go to your job and still have the same problems you had before.
People need to stop having such parasocial relationship with sports.
Bruh let them be happy? Ur a bum
Such a dumb mentality if people find joy in sports let them. Who are you to judge a persons priorities
I’d bet big money that your ass got real happy with the mickey mouse bubble ring yall barely won
Sir this is a Wendy’s
Shut up you fucking loser.
Because this means something to him/her, and that’s perfectly acceptable, and understandable.
Your take is devoid of empathy.
Bro wrote a whole thought piece cause a fan is happy his team won
Basking in reflected glory is a well researched, well documented psychological phenomenon.
It’s cool for people to enjoy themselves.
Some people have waited literally their entire lives hoping to see a Knicks championship, like I’m a spurs fan and it’s still so obvious how dumb your take is. It’s one less negative thing in life, regardless of whether it’s “life changing”. Entertainment doesn’t need to be
If you can’t grasp why this is significant for us then maybe you shouldn’t be watching sports. On the other hand you’re an LA fan, some of the fakest fans/ people in the word, so then I couldn’t really blame you for not being able to grasp the significance. Tough choice here.
Get outta town Mr sour grapes

32 years of being a fan. Started in 94 when I was 7. I always hoped the knicks would win, but decades of experience taught me to never get my hopes too high.
Maybe now we can dream a little again.
Still can’t believe it
Happy for you, big dawg.
I’ve been crying for a week lol
It still feels like fever dream I never want to wake up from
Yeah I can’t wait till next season so I can watch tv again
The best part is that the NBA didn’t even rig it for you to win.
Good. Shit is dope. Sports matter.
It’s beautiful.
I used to watch Zach Randolph airball on isos
I feel like I’m getting FOMO and I’ve never even been to New York.
It’s beautiful! This city belongs to Jalen Brunson and this team now
Ewing couldn’t do it. Stat, Melo, and so many others. Brunson and Co. did!
That team is New York legends for life 🧡💙
And Dolan
In spite of

Bro, your most popular subreddit to be active in is /r/tacobell I feel like even among redditors you don’t have the kind of life where you can be a good troll
K
did you hide your profile details after this 💀
Flair up
Ok
I thought I’d only ever see this in 2K. Can’t believe it’s really happening.
Now you get to see it in 4K.
Nice.
Now you know how Cubs fans felt in 2017.
“We Are the Champions” isn’t even 53 years old.
Released in 1977. The first NBA team who could play this song as champions were 1978 NBA finals winners Washington Bullets, who won that series over the Seattle SuperSonics.
Neither are post-it notes
This is all a dream I will wake up from at some point, right?
Nope
Nope!
Jalen Brunson boutta have his thanos moment once he gets home.
“I can finally rest”
No rest. Gotta prove his dad wrong next.
What you mean? He about to start training for the repeat
What you mean start? Job’s not finished.
New season. 0-0.
Yeah. OG still locked-in
so the Knicks didnt let the players all get time on the mic?
just the mayor, owner, front office, and Brunson?
wouldve loved to hear from KAT, OG, Bridges, Shamet, Alvarado, etc
They are literally on every talk show, you can hear from all of them. I get your point but it gets messy with who you let speak, who you are leaving out, and honestly, some of those people who spoke shouldn’t have gotten a chance on the mic (looking at you Dolan).
The players got their moment when they each came up to get the key to the city. But it would’ve been a waste of time honestly to have every player do a speech
I think any of the guys who wanted to give a speech should have been given the opportunity. People have been waiting decades for this.
How do you know they weren’t given the opportunity but decided to let captain speak for the team?
waste of time
Seems like they had enough time… about 53 years until they have to do this again, so no need to rush it.
I really wished at least KAT had some words because hes so insanely well spoken. Given how he sacrificed for the team to win this championship it would have been icing on the cake for him to give a speech.
same. its the main reason i was upset
when he got his key he even took an additional moment to beckon to the crowd. felt like he really wanted to connect further
The other politicians who spoke was a waste of time. Should have been the mayor, owner, Leon and the starting 5.
Wha? It felt fine?
Take that fox news fan fiction outta here my guy shit was beautiful
What a life.
So glad OG got to goto NYC. Man is so cultured and gifted, he deserves to be their legend.
He’s pretty cool
Beautiful
Went to the parade. This whole thing is surreal. I can’t believe it, the Knicks are champs
I tried going to the parade. I could barely make it through and ended up in a bar back in Queens. The vibe was still amazing to be a part of.
Sounds like a W to me either way 🙌
Very good very cool playoff run
Shout out to the SDNY who have to clean this up
Incredible job they’ve done this past week.
DSNY
They won everything
Not the Western Conference Finals though 😓
Never, ever imagined I’d live to see it.
I never thought this would happen in my lifetime. Until the end I just knew the Knicks would Knick.
Will be telling my kids and grandkids about the greatness of this season. What a wild ride and perfect payoff. The New York Knicks are NBA champions. Still surreal dawg
Imagine being OG and Brunson knowing you’re the reason for all this. Man. Must be amazing
That going to be such a bitch to clean up.
They are used to cleaning NY up. This is no different
That shit will be cleaned by 5PM. NYC sanitation doesn’t fuck around cleaning up after a parade or big celebration.
The Sanitation Dept got honored in the parade!
Can’t imagine the Knicks fans working in DPW collecting overtime are gonna complain.
its 90% gone now, they work quick…
people forget we do this every year for new years eve? lmfao the ball drops here, we clean that shit up by the time people wake up on the 1st
Man, the ability to complain about one’s job is universal.
yeah if we can clean NYE up in like 12 hours this should be fine
I hope they clean it up.
these days it’s prob biodegradable paper
Mamdani sending 10,000 union guys with healthcare for their whole extended family to clean it up with overtime pay and mandatory leave tomorrow
New Yorkers love their mayor.
Except angry conservatives who have been proven wrong but don’t want to admit it 🤣
Very cool.
I can finally rest
grew up hearing about ‘73 like it was mythology. never thought i’d actually see confetti like this. worth every bad season
This is why it was so easy to root for them. Spurs have had 5 championships since 1999 lol.
🥲 I never thought the day would come
How have i not heard “The Champ is Here” by Jadakiss once during this celebration.
Orange and Blue skies baby!!!
Literally crying at work rn 😭😭😭 never thought this day would come
Grown ass man crying at work looking at Reddit.
Orange and blue skies forever baby
Best championship in NY history, don’t @ me
RIP cleaning crew
That was good.
What a year!!!
incredible!
AWESOME ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I hope it’s biodegradable 👉👈
Wow
Knicks with the Knack
I’ve waited my whole life for this moment. Man, the last few weeks have been one of the greatest in my life.
Awesome
It all still feels so surreal
This made me wonder if “We Are The Champions” is actually older than 53 years. Almost, apparently: it’s from 1977, so 49 years.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_Are_the_Champions
Anyway, congrats Knicks fans!
CINEMA
This shit still feels like a dream.
Orange and Blue Skies
But blue and orange confetti was invented in 1976 by the Confettiberg brothers Orangelo and Blueford
DSNY loves to see this coming lol
lol for those that don’t know, some make over 100K with overtime, city pension, free health insurance, dental, and vision. They ain’t stressing a damn thing cleaning these streets.
people also act like this is some insane thing, lmfao every parade, every new years eve, it’s this
Never seen so much confetti in one place, impressive
The MSG broadcast cut to commercial when the confetti started 🥲
Now the Broncos finally have something to celebrate oh and can’t forget the bears
53 years has lead to this. Congrats Knicks.
Feel like this song has been played out and used by every major American sports team champion. Would’ve been cooler to use a song specific to New York
They played several send off songs, including that Frank Sinatra one
Where’s OG. Show his face!!!! Is he even smiling!?
0-0. LFG.
This song came out four years after our last one.
THE WAIT IS FUCKING OVER
I never thought this day would come. Seriously.
Not enough people. I’m sad for the ones stuck in the subway sewers.
This is so cool man, a great day for the NBA
no words, I can die in peace now.
It still doesn’t feel real haha
Incredible simply incredible
i’d be grabbing as much of that confetti with a bag as I could and turn it into a wall art piece.
Damn the Knicks Trebled! I’m just realizing this lol
As a college student when the Rangers won the cup in ‘94 hearing about the 54 year drought didn’t have much of an impact.
But being 50 years old and living though some brutal Knicks playoff losses and horrible season after horrible season, I get what those old time Rangers fans were talking about.
The wait was worth it. The pain was worth it. This week, and being able to share it with my college aged kids, has been amazing.
Knicks fan since the 80s this really felt good
It feels like NYK fans are just twice as happy as any other fans. Whoever can’t appreciate the joy of these moments, can’t appreciate sport.
Man… that band Queen was good weren’t they
Over/Under on Five Guys employees getting caught in the crosshairs today?
I’m gonna guess 6.

what does this even mean
When we needed him he stepped up, just too many guards for him to play after adding Alvarado.
https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/1pvn4hp/highlight_tyler_kolek_scored_11_of_his_16_points/
Man stfu
Sorry tough man, you win. Now go clean your room before mommy gets home
My drawings get a lot of likes, i use this app to share art and you’re here to troll and complain about nonsense
Jesus dude you’re fucking miserable lmao
Starving artist would imply i do this shit for money lol. Now stop bothering me
They’re just vibin Alvarado is holding up the trophy, no one on that stage cares where people are standing, and most of us here don’t either
He is allowed to walk on whatever part of the stage he would like
you’re overthinking this. Really weird take
Will Mamdani be paying NY citizens a minimum wage to sweep the streets as they did shoveling in the winter? Lol
Dsny is gonna be doin the cleaning and I can promise you they make over minimum wage and they secure OT for this
Shame. Many unemployed in NY that couldve made a contribution to ease the burden.
