Let the parade festivities begin.

Two hours before the start of the Knicks’ ticker-tape championship parade, fans already started the “f–k Wemby” chant.

There was also a doll dressed as the Spurs forward being tossed around the crowd.

Victor Wembenyama became the latest New York villain after he shoved beloved Knicks captain Jalen Brunson in Game 3 of the NBA Finals.

It didn’t help that the Frenchman had 32 points with eight rebounds, six assists and three blocks in the Knicks’ only loss of the series on the same night.

The fans then chanted the same “f–k Wemby” line during Game 4 at MSG.

“I guess,” Wembanyama said when asked if he’s being vilified by the Knicks fans. “I’m nowhere near Trae Young-level, though.”

Enormous crowds have already shown up for the parade celebrating the Knicks’ win, with viewing areas already full, per the NYPD.

“It may well be the largest parade in New York City history,” Mayor Zohran Mamdani said.

The parade will feature floats with every member of the championship team, the coaching staff, and past Knicks icons Walt “Clyde” Frazier and Patrick Ewing.

Celebrity row staples such as Ben Stiller are also expected.

The parade will begin at 10 a.m., but folks looking to watch from home or work can tune in on the New York Post Sports YouTube page.
