Knicks fans celebrate at Puerto Rican Day parade
The Knicks' victory added to the joyous atmosphere at this year’s Puerto Rican Day parade on Sunday, for which a significant portion of the city’s roughly 1 million descendants of the isle have gathered on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. Knicks jerseys were plentiful in the crowd, interspersed with Puerto Rican flags.
One DJ blasting reggaeton music on a float interrupted their set to chant, “Puerto Rico Puerto Rico! Shoutout to the Kniiiickkks!”
Another called out, “Knicks fans — hands in the air!”
One fan of Knicks point guard Jose Alvarado, who is of Puerto Rican descent, rode by in a jeep holding the player’s Puerto Rican national team jersey.
