President Barack Obama and the First Lady were enough to create a spectacle at the Carrier Classic basketball game held on the flight deck of USS Carl Vinson. The audience was busy watching the top ranked Tar Heels play against the Spartans, but many of them missed the best part of the game. Turns out, it was the action happening off the court that became truly newsworthy when former Spartans player Magic Johnson had the assist of the game.
In attendance due to his being named honorary captain for the day, Magic Johnson was able to make one officer’s proposal truly memorable. As the officer got down on one knee to present the ring, Johnson got down one his knee right along with him, staring expectantly at the fiancée-to-be. How could a girl say no to that? Well you can’t, so of course she said yes, and immediately enveloped the basketball great in a hug.
The Spartans may have lost the game, but I’m pretty sure Johnson and the happy couple didn’t care. It was truly the proposal of a lifetime.
