The New York Knicks' NBA Finals victory parade is rolling down Broadway, but a glaring banner error has stolen the spotlight.

City Hall is decorated with tributes to the 2026 roster, and one banner for bench player Dillon Jones displays his name with the number 33.

The problem? Jones never wore that number for the Knicks.

The No. 33 was retired in 2003 for franchise legend Patrick Ewing. Jones actually wears No. 1 in New York.

He did wear No. 33 during the preseason with the Washington Wizards, and some online rosters still list him with that number.

It appears the banner designer used an unofficial list, leaving many fans scratching their heads.

Jones played in a handful of games for the Knicks this season, while Ewing is widely regarded as the greatest player in team history.

Despite the mix-up, New Yorkers are expected to focus on celebrating the championship rather than the error.
