New Yorkers celebrated the Knicks' championship on nearly every available surface along the parade route in Lower Manhattan.
Climbing on delivery trucks, hanging off lampposts, standing on the roofs of newsstands, clinging to the concrete pillars of City Hall, and filling up courtyards and sidewalks, thousands of exuberant fans packed streets to party.
The parade was the culmination of weeks of electric energy across the city that grew during the Knicks NBA Finals run - the excitement finally bubbling over when the team won the championship on Saturday for the first time in 53 years.
"The vibes are absolutely amazing. This is just unreal," said parade-goer and 19-year-old college student Daniel Nemesure.
Parade-goers told the BBC they were thrilled to be part of the festivities - with many taking the day off from work.
