The Knicks had their parade today. Let's check out the scenes from the NYC.

**Chad Johnson** (0:23)
Wow.

**Shannon Sharpe** (0:28)
Come on, man. Look at the people on the building.
And they're risking their lives.

**Chad Johnson** (0:34)
Yes!

**Shannon Sharpe** (0:39)
No, you alert somebody right below what you go to.

**Chad Johnson** (0:48)
New York probably shut down today, huh?

**Shannon Sharpe** (0:51)
Oh, for sure. The police ain't even tripping, they like, whatever.
Yeah, for the police to take you in, you gotta do something really agreed.

**Chad Johnson** (1:12)
Keep it going, hey, why on Instagrams and...

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:14)
That's what it's supposed to be.
And for the Knicks, they had the celebrities, Fat Joe and Mariska Hargitay, and I think Ben Stiller was there, although, and Timothée Chalamet. I mean, it is just unbelievable. I don't know if anybody treat their celebs and their fans quite... And I understand, look, the Celtics got a great fan base. The Lakers, you know, Jack... Spike Lee is the equivalent of Jack Nicholson. For LA, what Jack Nicholson is for LA, Spike Lee is that for the Knicks. I don't know who that is for the Celtics and all these others, but I'm saying just those two.
I don't know, Joe, if we've seen anybody treat their celebs to be in the parade, to walk and get the love and adoration that the players receive.

**Chad Johnson** (2:00)
Yeah.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:01)
That is crazy. It's unbelievable. It's unbelievable. But that is amazing to see the fat Joes and all those people get that kind of love and that kind of praise. And the old guard. Man, the way they had Patrick Yu and Allen Houston and Starks and Spree and Grandmama, all those guys there, damn near every game. Hey, Ochocinco, here's what you got to take into consideration. I'm happy for New York. I love to see it. I think it's great for the game. But when you got about 8 to 9 million people living in New York, bro, this is what you get.
They are going to support their Knicks, die hard. And look, we always talk about, man, if you win a championship in New York, boy, you're going to be goaded.
Forever.

**Chad Johnson** (2:50)
Forever.

**Shannon Sharpe** (2:51)
Forever. Forever, ever. We're witnessing. We're witnessing history right now. And it's amazing to see, bro. Look, us seeing all these fans sitting up on the buildings and the light poles and man, that don't surprise me, bro. I expected all this. You know what I mean?
I expected all this. You, if you look at the way they treat their old guard, the Clyde Frazier's, the Earl of Pearls, Willis Reed, I think, I don't know if he's still alive, Bill Bradley and the Butcher and all those guys. Bird Dog, Bernard King, Mello. Yeah.
Can you imagine, I can only imagine what had had Mello won a championship or Bernard King won a championship.

**Chad Johnson** (3:41)
Right.

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:41)
But hey, Lord have mercy. But hey, but this group of guys right here, now the team is going to look different next year.
Dolan has already told you, I ain't going to the second April. Yeah, I don't know, you ain't going to the second April. So don't be coming to talk about, can we keep this team together? I'm not going into the second April. Y'all take whatever y'all want to take from that. But this group of guys right here, as you mentioned, World Wide Web and all those guys that put this team together, congratulations, man, that is unbelievable. There's nothing like having that parade. I was fortunate enough to go to one. Well, we had three, but I went to one. And to see 600, 700,000 fans out there all in orange, it's an unbelievable feeling. And I can just imagine what the Knicks, that was almost 30 years ago for us.
But the Knicks, I think the coolest thing for me, when I'm watching everything kind of unfold, you look at the older Knicks guys, the Larry Johnsons, you look at Mello, these are two different generations. All these guys in the parade, as if they, which they have to a degree, you feel me? And I enjoy seeing that part because, bro, they love that Knicks players, bro, past or present.
They do. I'm talking about, they will do whatever. So to get it, so for those guys to get a chance to ride on and drive through this parade, to enjoy New York City, at probably its highest moment, you know, I think it's a blessing, bro. It's a real blessing.
