The New York Knicks are the toast of the the Big Apple as they bask in the glow of being world champions \u2014 letting loose in exclusive nightclubs and making the rounds on national talk shows.<\/p>\n

The team brought the championship trophy back home to the five boroughs for the first time since 1973 after clinching the NBA Finals against the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday night, boarding flights after celebrating\u00a0at the Spurs\u2019 Frost Bank Center.<\/p>\n

But the party didn\u2019t really get underway until the champs were back in Gotham, letting their hair down after a historic playoff run with the team now as in demand on shows like \u201cThe Tonight Show\u201d and \u201cGood Morning America\u201d as some of their super-famous Celebrity Row supporters.<\/p>\n

All the partying will ultimately be a pre-game to the highest honor \u2014 a ticker-tape parade down Manhattan\u2019s Canyon of Heroes with thousands of title-starved New Yorkers cheering them on.<\/p>\n

Finals MVP Jalen Brunson recounted the whirlwind weekend during an appearance on \u201cGood Morning America\u201d Monday, confessing he covered his head with a towel after securing the title because he was overcome with emotion.<\/p>\n

\u201cHonestly, it was like a lifetime, honestly, that\u2019s what it felt like,\u201d the clutch captain of the squad said. \u201cI knew I had to because I knew that face would look crazy on TV. I think the best part about it is that these guys have my back night in and night out. Made that moment 10 times more special.\u201d<\/p>\n

The star guard also made a special guest appearance on ABC\u2019s \u201cThe View\u201d on Monday \u2014 and dished on his reaction to Spurs star Victor Wembanyama\u2019s violent shove in Game 3 that went viral but was somehow not ruled a flagrant foul.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted to [retaliate] but at the same time, I knew that being a leader, understanding the moment, understanding the situation, you have to keep your composure,\u201d Brunson said. \u201cNo matter when it\u2019s being too high or being too low, you gotta stay even-keeled. That\u2019s something I had for a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Away from the TV cameras, the Knicks partied at Flyfish Club, an exclusive private members\u2019 club on the Lower East Side, for a blowout bash on Sunday night.<\/p>\n

Brunson, Mikal Bridges, Karl-Anthony Towns, Josh Hart, OG Anunoby, Landry Shamet, Miles McBride, Tyler Kolek, Mohamed Diawara, Kevin McCullar Jr., Trey Jemison III, Dillon Jones, Ariel Hukporti and Jordan Clarkson were all spied in exclusive photos obtained by The Post.<\/p>\n

Towns\u2019 fianc\u00e9e Jordyn Woods, whose blazing orange bag became an unofficial good luck charm for the team, was also spotted cutting loose with the champs.<\/p>\n

The boys rubbed elbows with Yankees All-Star Jazz Chisholm Jr. as family and close friends were treated with performances from BET-nominated rapper A Boogie Wit da Hoodie.<\/p>\n

Knicks point guard Jose Alvarado and guard Clarkson, meanwhile, reveled in the streets with fans during the Knickerbocker Avenue Puerto Rican Day Parade on Sunday. <\/p>\n

\u201cThank you guys so much, it means the world to me. Really,\u201d Alvarado said as he stood on a float. \u201cI\u2019m a kid from Brooklyn. And the Knicks party f\u2013kin\u2019 did it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alvarado grew up in Williamsburg before his family moved to Queens. He is the only born-and-raised New Yorker on the current Knicks roster.<\/p>\n

Shooting guard Bridges partied a little too hard and took to Instagram Live to yap about everything from talk of the city building a statue of Brunson to his dog\u2019s favorite songs.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\u201cBuild him a statue,\u201d Bridges said. \u201cBuild that little big-headed ass n\u2014a a statue bro.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSomeone take Mikal\u2019s phone away,\u201d Brunson later wrote on X.<\/p>\n

The team was also set to appear on Monday\u2019s episode of \u201cThe Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Knicks have their championship parade through the Canyon of Heroes set for Thursday, which begins at Battery Park and ends at City Hall.<\/p>\n
