Summary

The Earth formed 4.5 billion years ago, the first Olympic Games were held in 776 B.C., James Naismith invented basketball in 1891, and the five boroughs of New York City were unified in 1898. And yet, in the time that’s passed, the New York Knicks have never once had a ticker-tape parade. When the team won titles in 1970 and 1973, then-Mayor John Lindsay passed on the downtown spectacle entirely.
