How many people showed up for the Knicks championship parade

Reports varied, but the clearest official estimate was about 2 million people at the Knicks championship parade, according to NYPD estimates cited by multiple outlets.

What sources said

• NBC News reported more than 2 million people lined the streets of Lower Manhattan.

• ABC7NY said the NYPD estimated 2 million attendees in the parade area and surrounding streets.

• Some other coverage used broader language like “millions” or “tens of thousands,” which reflects uncertainty in crowd-counting rather than a different event.

Practical read

For a single-number answer, 2 million is the best estimate that was widely repeated in coverage of the parade.
