    I will tell you that when he said something to the effect of the last 10 months being the happiest he's been the crowd reaction was classic. There were gasps, laughs, and tons of murmurs.

    And then he said someting about tomorrow might be valentine's day but he wants the rest of thir lives to be valentine's day. It was excellent indeed.

    But if so many people think it was fake then explain why? If the guy had had a Kings jersey on under his suit then yes that would be classic.

    i saw her in a rocket's office as i was going to will call. she looked like she was explaining stuff to someone on a phone. when i saw her in the timeout show i was like, oh ok that makes sense now. she totally looked like she was doing some last minute explaining of stuff to a friend.

    i dont get the point if it was fake.

    i mean it definitely could have been. but think of this, you know people do the big public proposing right? do you actually think they are all a "yes"?

    Too obvious... After the walked out you can tell she was looking at the audience or camera as if she's looking for approval of phonyness....

    Man, that was bad acting. How can y'all not see that it's fake? She wouldn't keep looking at the crowd if she was embarrassed.

    if it's fake then why doesn't someone produce another one that happened at another arena - surely there must be multiple ones of these floating around the internet.

    you know, i dont think it was fake, but the more I think about it, maybe. Did anyone go to the shoot around/team scrimage before the season started? he looked like the same guy that they pulled out of the stands in a Mavs jersey.......

    I think it's fake. If she's as nice/great as he said she was, she wouldn't have been that cruel publicly. She would have told him let's go outside and talk about this. You can tell it's staged because she made sure everyone knew she said no, rather than just him.

    It's a good way to keep the families coming back to family night Rockets games.

    As the Wizards game on Friday, February 20th ended, 15,711 fans streamed out from MCI Center, still abuzz with what they witnessed.

    Sure, the game was entertaining, and both the Wizards and Pacers played hard, but a spoof during a break in the action stole the show.

    Conceived in mischief, and executed without flaw, the Washington Wizards Game Operations department pulled off the prank of the year, simultaneously bewildering and wildly entertaining thousands that could not believe their eyes.

    It started as a routine timeout contest, not unlike the one that occurs at every other Wizards home game. A fan, seemingly chosen at random, is pulled from the crowd, brought on the court and blindfolded. Then, according to the cheers or boos from the crowd, the fan navigates the court in search of an inflatable Chevy Chase Bank mascot waiting with a prize.

    The female fan staggered around the court, arms outstretched, in search of her knight in shining rubber. And when she found him, the crowd cheered as always, the fan pulled off her blindfold, and everything seemed like business as usual.

    Yet, what ensued was anything but usual, as the inflatable mascot deflated, and a man emerged on bended knee. With an engagement ring in hand, the man bent before his better half, while the thousands in attendance ooohed and aaahed at the romantic interlude.

    Until hilarity broke out and the not-bride-to-be ran from the court in tears, leaving her stunned beau embarrassed in front of the masses. The scoreboard flashed “SHE SAID NO”, and MCI Center rocked in bewilderment. The woman was gone, disappeared into the tunnels below the arena, and the man slumped off court.

    “Was that real?”, “How could she do such a thing?”, “Poor guy, I’ll marry him”. Nobody knew what to think, and when the couple made a return appearance at the next timeout, prominently displayed once again on the scoreboard and featured on the Kiss-Me-Cam, the boos that rained down on the woman drowned out the Game Operations staff’s admission that they just pulled off the prank of the year.

    Too late for Valentine’s Day, and too early for April Fools, nobody knew whether the “proposal spoof” was real.

    To be sure, it was not, but the prank garnered the attention of the national media and tales of the tomfoolery spread far and wide. On nationally syndicated television and radio shows, the story was told, hashed and rehashed in an attempt to get to the bottom of things.

    All the while, the game operations masterminds behind the spoof delighted at the flawless execution of their gag that tugged at the heart of all.

    “Many times in NBA arenas you see marriage proposals that result in a happy couple,” said Ann Nicolaides, Vice President of Marketing for the Wizards. “We thought it would be fun to see the fans reaction if a marriage proposal went badly. Judging from the response we’ve had, I think we got everyone’s attention!”

    There is no word on whether the actors will make a return engagement at MCI Center, while the national spotlight shines on America’s next celebrity couple.

    Yeah I thought this felt familiar and then I remembered. Jamie Kennedy did this the first time on his show the Jamie Kennedy Experiment.

    Here's the clip. PS I think Jamie did a better job ;)
