Winning an NBA championship means a busy schedule ahead for the team. That will be the case for the New York Knicks after they ended their 53-year title drought on Saturday. They will have their championship parade around the city on Thursday. However, the entire Knicks roster will also appear on Monday on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.”
They defeated the San Antonio Spurs in five games, including a historic 29-point comeback in Game 4. The Knicks also trailed by 16 points in Game 5 but rallied to win 94-90.
