It was the team’s first title since 1973.

“It was incredible,” Mayor Zohran Mamdani told The Post on Sunday. “I mean, it’s hard to believe it was real, but it’s beautify to wake up to know, yes, it was, and we’re the champions.”

The parade will kick off at Battery Park at 10 a.m. and proceed north on Broadway — a k a the Canyon of Heroes — and wind up at City Hall for a celebration hosted by the mayor.

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’ World Series wins.

Now it’s the Knicks turn.

Mamadani said more details will be released in the next few days.

“What does the Knicks win mean for New York? It’s a time of celebration. I have joined the fever,’’ said Archbishop of New York Ronald Hicks.

“I watched all the games, especially [Saturday] night until the very end, and was celebrating with everyone,” Hicks said. “Way to go Knicks!”
