Watched the ceremony at City Hall.
\nGlad they went through the whole team and gave them something honorable to take with them.
\nMy moment of clarity on what this meant came when Mitchell Robinson got his award as a champion.
\nI also liked that the Mayor listed all the recent past Knicks players who could’ve been on this team but were traded to make it what it is. He named the right ones.
\nThe whole thing was inclusive, generous and working together. Cried all the way through it, nice release still don’t have any idea which way is up. In my heart this was never supposed to happen but there it is.
\nWhy wasn’t Clyde on the stage?
\nAnd Dolan reminded us we don’t get to vote for him. I know I know.

\nYou asked. From all I see out here in the Midwest and also from comments from friends in Europe, I can testify that yes absolutely the Knicks win is a total joy to behold far and wide. Not just for the artful wins, although that was great fun. The last second dunk in the second to last game was breathtaking.
\nThe larger gift is that New Yorkers have so vividly shown that right now and going forward we are capable of joy-and-unity vs hate-and-division. Love is way more fun than hate. Most people know that, you’ve shown it. Knicks fans, people of all ages and creeds , are a palpable reminder of the power of the people right on!
\nRemember the 1967 Troggs hit Love is All Around? I feel it in my fingers, I feel it in my toes.
\nHappy Parade Day!
\nLet this hopeful moment fuel the near future.
\nPS: Did you see the news clip of the Knicks just after arriving back in NY, just off their plane they joined in a parade for Puerto Rico or maybe it was Pride Month. Hallelujah. (Dave: It was the Puerto Rican Day parade, two players went, Alvarado (who is Puerto Rican himself) and Jordan Clarkson who is from the Philippines, and is the super freak hippie on the team, though they’re pretty much all hippies.)
\nResponses from other sites
\nTommy Williams: “Not here in Montana, or among my colleagues across the Midwest. It didn’t attract more attention than any other NBA championship. Everyone’s focus (for sports) is on the World Cup.”
\nCourtney Robertson: “Noticing that sports is bringing unification and joy when I really could use that.”
\nPhil: “There are a surprising number of Knicks fans here in Cincy, and it’s been a pretty big deal — I’ve even got a friend who flew out to NYC for the parade today.”
