The New York Knicks are celebrating their NBA Championship win with a parade, however, the city’s government has made a huge error.
Knicks fans will be there in their thousands to celebrate the finals victory over the San Antonio Spurs, mayor of New York City Zohran Mamdani confirming measures have been put in place to accommodate the parade.
As part of the celebrations of winning their first title in 53 years, the city have hung three Knicks shirts off City Hall, but one key error has been spotted.
The mistake made by the NYC government for Knicks parade
Three iconic jerseys have been hung off the building but fans have noticed that Dillon Jones’ #33 jersey is one of those.
There are a few problems with this. First of all, Jones actually wore the number 33 during pre-season for Washington Wizards but the bigger one is that the number is actually retired.
Patrick Ewing was the last person to wear the number before retiring from the sport in 2003.
On a day of celebration, that’s the last thing you want to see.
What to expect from the New York Knicks parade?
As well as custom items being available to Knicks fans, it is likely that we will see a range of celebrity stars in the city.
Timothee Chalamet and Kylie Jenner have been spotted riding bikes around the city while there will also be some fans of countries competing in the FIFA World Cup keeping tabs on the situation.
Even Mikal Bridges is allowed to bring his dog on the float for the parade so it seems like the celebrations will be in full swing.
