The Knicks held their parade yesterday and it was as chaotic as you'd expect.
Here are the highlights:
• A Knicks fan who overdosed kept trying to kiss the woman who saved him. Video · X →
• A woman interrupted her twerk session on top of a traffic light to fight another woman, then continued twerking while getting her pants ripped off. Three angles for the full panoramic experience (NSFW). Video 1 · X → Video 2 · X → Video 3 · X →
• They held a Jalen Brunson lookalike contest. Half of them looked more like Kyler Murray. Video · X →
• A random white guy who plays for the Knicks was mistaken by police for a fan. Video · X →
• A team of Chick-fil-A employees plowed through the entire crowd to make a delivery. Two led the way, two carried the bags. Video · X →
53 years of waiting. Worth every second. New York is a magical place.

🏆 J.R. Smith called out Kyrie Irving for skipping the 2016 Cavs' 10th-anniversary reunion. LeBron, Kevin Love, Tristan Thompson, and others all met up in Europe to celebrate. Kyrie was invited and completely ghosted. To be fair, Europe is dangerously close to the edge of the earth. [Yahoo]
⚾ The College World Series finals are set. Oklahoma dismantled Georgia 11-4 with five home runs to book a date with North Carolina starting Saturday. The best-of-three series guarantees history either way: Oklahoma is chasing its first baseball title since 1994, and UNC has never won one. [On3]
