While thousands of fans packed Manhattan for the Knicks championship parade, a group of Brooklyn seniors held a celebration of their own in Bushwick.
The Round Table Senior Center hosted a watch party and celebration for longtime Knicks fans, who were unable to attend the parade in person.
The room was filled with blue and orange as seniors cheered the team's historic championship victory.
Some of the seniors said they have been Knicks fans since they were kids, and lived through decades of the team’s highs and lows.
Several also remember the team's last championship in 1973, making this year's title a particularly emotional moment.
“I didn’t think I’d live to see it again,” said one senior.
