City officials revealed new details Sunday about what could be the biggest parade in Big Apple history \u2014 the ticker-tape extravaganza for the NBA champion Knicks.<\/p>\n

The hometown hoopster heroes will get a much-deserved victory parade up the Canyon of Heroes on Thursday morning after winning the finals against the San Antonio Spurs in five games.<\/p>\n

It was the team\u2019s first title since 1973.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will be a tremendous turnout,\u201d predicted a retired NYPD supervisor who worked the mind-blowing New York Rangers and Yankees parades after they won national titles in the 1990s.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t forget, the Knicks have no competition\u201d when it comes to the team\u2019s famed legion of diehard longtime basketball fans, the source said. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe Yankees had the Mets. The Giants had the Jets. The Rangers had the Devils and the Islanders \u2013 everyone is a Knick fan.\u201d<\/p>\n

The parade will kick off at Battery Park at 10 a.m. and proceed north on Broadway \u2014 a k a<\/em> the Canyon of Heroes \u2014 and wind up at City Hall for a celebration hosted by the mayor.<\/p>\n

One wrinkle is that some state high-school Regents exams appear to be scheduled the same day, which means many teen Knicks fans could be forced to be indoors taking their exams rather than cheering on their beloved championship team in the once-in-a-lifetime experience.<\/p>\n

Big Apple ticker-tape parades have historically been reserved for the biggest celebrations in the city, from the World War II victory parades to New York Yankees\u2019 World Series wins.<\/p>\n

Now it\u2019s the Knicks turn.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think I\u2019ll take the day off to go,\u201d lifelong Knicks fan Andy Yu said of the upcoming parade. \u201cI\u2019ll just scream my lungs out during the parade when the bus [of players] goes past and seeing the trophy in person. It will be pretty special.\u201d<\/p>\n

Queens resident Victor Abreau said he\u2019ll also play hooky.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m calling out from work,\u201d he said. \u201cWe are going to the parade, and we\u2019re going to enjoy watching our city finally be part of the world championship. New York is finally back on top.\u201d<\/p>\n

Officials have not said how many are people expected to attend, but the largest estimated crowd for past parades was nearly 5 million for the 1991 welcome celebration for returning Gulf War troops.<\/p>\n

Other Big Apple parades \u2014 including for the Apollo 11 astronauts in 1969, astronaut John Glenn in 1962, Gen. Douglas MacArthur after his dismissal by Harry Truman in 1951 and Charles Lindbergh in 1927 after his famed flight \u2014 drew around 4 million people a pop.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A second veteran police source told The Post that there shouldn\u2019t be the kind of unruly mobs at the parade like the ones that rocked the city after Saturday\u2019s win.<\/p>\n

\u201cParades are normally not subject to riots because they are early in the morning before people have a chance to drink,\u201d the source said. \u201cThe problems come on the night the teams clinch, after several hours partying and the teams just won.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, in the world of social media, who knows what will happen Thursday.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mayor Zohran Mamdani told The Post on Sunday that the Knicks\u2019 clinching the title Saturday \u201cwas incredible,\u201d <\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\u201cI mean, it\u2019s hard to believe it was real, but it\u2019s beautify to wake up to know, yes, it was, and we\u2019re the champions,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Hizzoner said more details about the parade will be released in the next few days.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat does the Knicks win mean for New York? It\u2019s a time of celebration. I have joined the fever,\u2019\u2019 said Archbishop of New York Ronald Hicks.<\/p>\n

\u201cI watched all the games, especially [Saturday] night until the very end, and was celebrating with everyone,\u201d Hicks said. \u201cWay to go Knicks!\u201d<\/p>\n
