LeBron James gets engaged to Savannah Brinson - NBA Update
LeBron James, the King of basketball world, may be tough on the outside but has an amorous heart.
On New Year’s Eve, the Miami Heat’s giant was not shooting for a Hollywood movie when he was spotted standing on one knee, rather he was proposing his college sweetheart Savannah Brinson.
It was all real and planned by none other than himself.
Brinson and LeBron have been seeing each other for a long time now and had talked about marriage in the past as well; however the future Mrs. LeBron was not expecting it in such a romantic way.
It all happened in a party hosted by his Heat teammate Dwyane Wade to celebrate the new-year and LeBron’s 27th Birthday, which was actually on Friday. Wade had the ring with him throughout the party and as soon as the
clock hit the midnight, he passed it to the LeBron, who then within no time gave her girlfriend the shock of her life.
"It should be a surprise for any woman anytime something like that happens," James said. "She was surprised. It was great that all the friends and family were there to bring in a new year. Even my kids were happy about it, so that's
good. ... I feel good. I feel good. It's a good point in my life right now."
Wade, who is close to LeBron was very excited himself and congratulated the couple.
"It's very nice," Wade said. "Very nice. They have good taste. ... To me, it felt like he was on his knee for an hour. It was probably like 35 seconds. It was great. I feel so happy for them and their entire family."
The news of LeBron’s engagement spread like a fire and within no time, congratulatory messages by fans, Heat’s owner Micky Arison, and Los Angeles Clippers guard Chris Paul, who is a close friend of LeBron, appeared on Twitter.
The date for a wedding is not set yet, and even a proper ring exchange has not taken place yet but keeping in mind the unpredictable nature of LeBron, we might be hearing the wedding news soon.
