city into a massive celebration<\/a> that has yet to subside \u2014 and will be capped with Thursday\u2019s parade.<\/p>\nKnicks fans are cooking up creative ways to blow off work for the teams victory parade on Thursday. Ron Adar \/ M10s \/ SplashNews.com<\/p>\n
For long-suffering fans, it could be worth risking your job.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u201cI\u2019m calling out, respectfully,\u201d one Harlem fan told The Post. <\/p>\n
Asked what he would tell his boss, he said: \u201cMy dog got sick.\u201d<\/p>\n
Another Knicks fan said he planned to use a ploy that worked in the past, saying he \u201cwould make myself fall down on purpose in front of my bosses,\u201d and claim the \u201cinjury\u201d would keep him home. <\/p>\n
Long Island sanitation worker David Polonia had another plan in mind.<\/p>\n

\u201cI told him I had a doctor\u2019s appointment,\u201d he said. \u201cHe didn\u2019t seem too happy about it, but he accepted it.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, more than a few fans said they\u2019ll be honest about the whole thing and hope for the best. <\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone knows, I think my employer shows,\u201d lifelong fan David Dweck said. \u201cThis is what it is. We are living in New York and love the Knicks\u2026. We\u2019re calling out of work and it is what it is.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m saying that I\u2019m coming to the parade,\u201d Dweck added. \u201cI love my Knicks and I will suffer the consequences a little later.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Big Apple Knicks fans are getting creative, cooking up absurd schemes to blow off work on Thursday for…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":871047,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5122],"tags":[5229,5248,3578,304733,405,403,3122,5226,5225,5228,5227,21701,67,586,132,5230,68,1154,2969],"class_list":["post-871046","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-america","tag-metro","tag-nba-finals","tag-nba-playoffs-2026","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-new-york-knicks","tag-newyork","tag-newyorkcity","tag-ny","tag-nyc","tag-parades","tag-united-states","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-unitedstates","tag-unitedstatesofamerica","tag-us","tag-us-news","tag-usa"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116759597455292870","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/871046","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=871046"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/871046\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/871047"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=871046"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=871046"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=871046"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
