Jeremy Sochan celebrates Knicks NBA title at NYC parade shirtless
Polish forward Jeremy Sochan, a member of the New York Knicks, took part in the team's championship parade in New York City after the Knicks won the NBA title. He appeared without a shirt, received a symbolic key to the city from Mayor Zohran Mamdani, and provided comic moments that delighted fans and teammates.
Sochan played a limited role during the season, appearing in 16 regular‑season games and a few finals matches, but his presence highlighted the rarity of a Polish player winning an NBA championship. Despite the celebration, his contract with the Knicks has ended, leaving him a free agent as the league prepares for the 2026‑27 season.
The parade and Sochan’s shirtless appearance garnered media attention in both the United States and Poland, underscoring the growing interest in Polish athletes competing at the highest level of basketball.
