Earlier today, we shared some early looks at New York Knicks Star and NBA Finals MVP Jalen Brunson's friend, Law & Order: SVU star/EP Mariska Hargitay, during today's big parade in NYC in honor of the Knicks winning their first championship in 53 years. Brunson is a longtime fan of "SVU," and Hargitay is a longtime fan of the Knicks and what Brunson brings to the game. In fact, it might even lead to Brunson guest-starring in the long-running procedural (more on that in a minute). Now, we have additional looks at Hargitay from Brunson's float during the parade and at the official ceremony. In addition, Hargitay was kind enough to share some personal looks from the festivities.

Here's a look at Hargitay in action during today's parade, including a chance to pose with Brunson with the NBA Championship and much more. In addition, Hargitay shared some great looks from the parade-goers' perspective on Instagram that you should definitely check out (here, here, here, and here):

You just helped lead the New York Knicks to their first NBA title in over half a century. You were named the NBA Finals Most Valuable Player. You will never have to pay for a meal in NYC for the rest of your life. You can pretty much assume you'll be drinking for free, too. What's the first thing on your plate? Normally, we hear athletes say, "I'm going to Disneyworld" – but not Brunson. Asked what was next for him on the way back to the Knicks locker room to celebrate the history-making win, Brunson was asked what was next – and it seems like a role on NBC's long-running Hargitay-starring series is on his agenda. Of course, being the star and hands-on executive producer, if anyone is going to get Brunson on, it's Hargitay.

Here's a look at Brunson making it clear that he's got that "DUN-DUN" on his brain and it's not going away:
