I’ll admit, it took me a moment — and a couple reads — to understand the tweet. Partly because I was catching up on the hundreds of tweets I had not yet read after a 60-mile drive, and because I was in a hurry, at a restaurant doing so.
The tweet was fired off at 6:16 p.m. ET, and looked like this:
Yes… That's what she said

“Mas Fresco” is C.J. Miles, the veteran NBA player who’s in his first season playing with the Indiana Pacers. He was down in Cancun, Mexico, and clearly had been productive during the extended NBA All-Star break.
He had just proposed.

C.J. is arguably the best quote on the team, offering thoughtful responses and willing to give media as much time as needed. His smile is memorable, and often contagious.
So, we knew she, Lauren Smith, said yes, but what was her reaction?
always wondered what I would do when I got proposed to.
…well I cried. like a baby.

Typical C.J. with a humorous response, and then another great post.
She had the ugly cry too.. And she took forever to say yes .. My knee hurts still

Well done, C.J. And nice choice on the ring.
The two have apparently been dating for a while. Here’s a photo Lauren posted from 2009.
Congrats to both C.J. and Lauren.
