People also said it would be impossible for the New York Knicks to win a championship with Jalen Brunson leading the way. But over these last few weeks, New York City has rallied around the Knicks and unified our communities in a way we haven\u2019t seen before when it comes to sports. And with the Knicks winning their first NBA championship in 53 years, you know Queens is going to be celebrating all summer long. The \u2018Knicks in 5\u2019 chants aren\u2019t stopping with last week\u2019s massive ticker tape parade up the Canyon of Heroes. On Thursday, June 25, my office is going to be holding its own celebration in honor of our hometown heroes here in The World\u2019s Borough. So wear your Knicks gear, practice those chants, and join us that afternoon at 3pm as we host a championship rally and flag raising celebration on the steps of Queens Borough Hall in Kew Gardens. After decades of \u2018there\u2019s always next year,\u2019 it is finally the year for us Knicks fans. But as we celebrate Brunson\u2019s MVP heroics, OG\u2019s iconic tip-in, and this unforgettable moment in our city\u2019s history, please make sure you\u2019re doing so re\u00adsponsibly.<\/p>\n<p>See everyone at Borough Hall Thursday!\u201d RSVP at www.queensbp.nyc.gov\/rsvp<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u00a0 Borough President Donovan Richards Jr. said, \u201cIn a city of 9 million people representing every race, religion,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":276858,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[9,24,63,122,124,123],"class_list":["post-276857","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-queens","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-queens","tag-queens-headlines","tag-queens-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/276857","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=276857"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/276857\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/276858"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=276857"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=276857"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=276857"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
