The voice of the Knicks will be the voice of their championship commemoration.
Mike Breen, the Hall of Fame broadcaster, will emcee Thursday’s ceremony at City Hall, The Post has learned.
Breen, 65, will also be part of the parade down the Canyon of Heroes after calling play-by-play for Knicks either on the radio or TV since 1991.
For his national gig on ESPN, Breen called the title-sealing Game 5 in San Antonio.
“It’s over! It’s over! Knick fans, this is not a dream!” Breen said as the clock ticked down on the Knicks’ 94-90 win, a victory that gave them their first title since 1973. “Your long, long wait is ended. Go ahead and cry: after 53 years, the Knicks are finally NBA Champions once again!”
Breen, who grew up a Knicks fan as a Yonkers product and Fordham alumn, understood the moment before it happened.
“I do know what it would mean to the city and to the fans of the city,” he said during a pre-Finals conference call. “It might be one of the great moments in the history of New York sports if they win because of what the fan base has gone through and how loyal they’ve been to the team.”
The parade is set to kick off at 10 a.m. at Battery Park. It travels down Broadway and ends at City Hall, where Breen will take the microphone.
