Big Apple Knicks fans are getting creative, coming up with absurd plans to skip work Thursday for the NBA champions' parade down the Canyon of Heroes.
Some will call in sick, some won't show up for work and hope for the best, while others will hope their bosses understand but won't miss the massive celebrations of their hometown heroes.
“I'm going to start coughing on Wednesday and next time I'll have a fever,” television studio technician Kenny Rosa said Monday.
“And then as soon as I get out, I call in the next day and call in sick.” “It's a mental health day,” said Yale Club worker Sam Suarez.
"It's a mental health day, and you have sick days, and you just call and say, 'Hey, listen.
I have to go.' And that's it.
"You know, sometimes you don't have to explain yourself because, in the lie, they can find out." Justin, a New Jersey native, said he snuck into town for the big parade after missing work, in Seattle.
"I'm not feeling well, and I'll come back when I feel better," he told his bosses.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani said The Knicks' victory parade could turn out to be the largest in the city's history, and it's a can't-miss event for die-hard fans who just watched the local team win its first NBA title in 53 years.
The Game 5 victory over the hated San Antonio Spurs on Saturday night launched the city into a massive celebration that still hasn't let up, and will culminate with Thursday's parade.
“I respectfully call it,” one Harlem fan told The.
Post.
When asked what he would tell his boss, he said, "My dog got sick." Another Knicks fan said he planned to use a ploy that worked in the past, saying he would "purposely make me fall in front of my bosses" and claimed the "injury" would keep him home.
David Poland, a healthcare worker from Long Island, had another plan in mind.
“I told him I had a doctor's appointment,” he said.
“He didn't seem too happy about it, but he accepted it, though.” of a few fans said they will be honest about the whole thing and hope for the best.
“Everyone knows it, I think my employer shows it,” said lifelong fan David Dweck.
“This is what it is.
We live in New York and we love the Knicks….
We are out of work and it is what it is.
"I'm saying I'm going to the parade," Dweck added.
"I love my Knicks and I'll suffer the consequences a little later."
