Mayor Zohran Mamdani said it could be the largest parade in the city's history. Mamdani delivered a stirring, nostalgia-filled speech before handing out symbolic keys to the city to the Knicks players and staff on a stage at the end of the parade route. After going through a long list of former Knicks, Mamdani proclaimed "this championship belongs to them too because championships aren't just built in one season." The mayor continued: "New York City has just had two of the most magical months in as long as many of us can remember. Over these past weeks as the Knicks kept winning, our city has come together as one. Neighbours invited neighbours over. Strangers high-fived one another in the street. Subway conductors sang their announcements and bus drivers danced behind the wheel." “What a gift it is to be brought together by pure unfiltered joy," Mamdani said.
