Knicks’ parade is bigger than a championship — it’s 80 years of New York basketball
The Knicks have been in basketball business since 1946. They have never had a parade. They will get one Thursday, all right. They will take that regal ride up Broadway, from Battery Park to City Hall, and there’ll be a million or two of their closest friends lining either side of the street.

There isn’t a lot of use for ticker tape these days, but someone at Western Union should spend the morning combing through basements, attics and archives. Somewhere there must be a few of their old tickers, a few spools of their old tape — between a half-inch and three-quarters of an inch wide. Feed a few miles of it into the machine for old times sake.
Chop it into little pieces of square confetti.
