Well, that was romantic . . .
Proposing to your significant other in front of thousands of people at a live sports event is always a major gamble. If it lacks the impact you had pictured in your mind, not only will it underwhelm in general, but tens of thousands of people are well aware of your lack of romance and creativity. Case in point, Charles’ awkward proposal to girlfriend Christina at last night’s Knicks-Warriors game.
In some weird version of The Newlyweds Game, the next prompt that came on the Jumbotron at Madison Square Garden was Enes Kanter and Kristaps Pozingis holding CGI’s signs with “will you marry me?”
