New York was a picture of pandemonium on Saturday night as the city's rowdy NBA Championship celebrations culminated in police officers tackling manic fans as they clambered on top of cop cars and school buses.
Thousands of the Big Apple's raucous citizens invaded the streets to celebrate the Knicks' first NBA Championship in 53 years.
The Knicks completed a fairytale playoffs with the ultimate prize as they produced another epic comeback on the road to beat the San Antonio Spurs 94-90 in a dramatic Game 5 in front of a star-studded crowd that included even Prince Harry.
The Knicks won the series 4-1, rallying from double-digit deficits in all four of those victories. The deficit was 16 on Saturday night but the Knicks were never fazed. And neither were their fans. No, they were crazed.
1,800 miles away, Knicks owner James Dolan begged New Yorkers to rein in the bedlam in the Big Apple.
'We're going to have a parade on Thursday,' he declared from his press conference in San Antonio. 'But everybody tonight in New York, be safe. Celebrate but be safe,'
His pleas fell on deaf ears.
New Yorkers arrived at Madison Square Garden in their droves, descending on the Knicks' iconic home to throw the greatest garden party the city had ever witnessed.
NYPD officers in riot gear swiftly moved into action to control the wild masses unleashed on Manhattan's Midtown.
However, mayhem broke out as police frantically shoved the jubilant supporters back in desperate attempts to clear the area.
An officer was captured repeatedly ordering one man to stand back from the street, screaming, 'sidewalk,' in his face.
As the fan refused to back down, instead encroaching closer to the cop, the NYPD officer shoved him back.

,,, LOL!
We won?
Hurray! Let’s destroy stuff!
We lost?
Booo! Let’s destroy stuff!
Every time.
...”Celebrate but be safe,’
His pleas fell on deaf ears.”...
Why am I not surprised!??
The Big Apple ... Don’t mind the maggots
Small part of New York was very unruly. The rest of the city was chaos. They deserve every bad thing that happens.
Cops should shoot a few. They’ll settle down. 💩 and urine on the streets? A little blood shouldn’t hurt. WTF
Why in the blazes were school busses out in NYC on a Saturday night? LOL!
Imam Mamdamni Monday Morning: “We need $16 million for new school busses Upstate Saps, Waaaah!”
YEP
School buses? Ha ha haaaaaas! Where did they find those? In a museum?
Make the Knicks pay for this....they did cause it. Like a bartender giving a guy too much to drink.
Stupid fanatics. Wife beaters of tomorrow.
Yawn . . .
The commies are causing this chaos.
Let’s blame the correct actors.
... chimpin’ out ... ??
Stop insulting chimpanzees!
No impulse control among a specific democrat segment of society. This always happens in Rat cities, always.
The image of Zulu’s at Rorke’s Drift comes to mind.
And Joy. Such spontaneous joy. Look, there is a store that busted out it's own windows to hand out free sneakers!
Blaming Communists for unruly sports fans is unfair to the Communists: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sports_riot
There’s always going to be a subset of society that just wants a socially acceptable excuse to run wild in the streets and break things.
Over the decades, that subset has gotten larger.
