This is funny on so many levels. Like the woman couldn't have just said "yes" to save the dude the humiliation and then told him the next day she changed her mind or something? She better keep walking through that tunnel all the way home. I love the mascot's reaction of the open arms, like, "what's going on," and then the fact that the poor guy had to be escorted by said mascot off the court. Finally, you have to love the fact that someone handed him a beer as soon as he got into the tunnel, although I'm guessing he's going to need something a whole lot stronger to forget about an event like this.

Update: According to a Rockets spokesperson, the marriage proposal was, in fact, a skit that was staged by the team. Special thanks to commenter Jay {Houston) for sounding the alarm.
