This has been a wild year for cheerleaders in general, across the board. Between the Las Vegas Raiders dancer who blew up online last week, the Seattle Seahawks cheerleaders who caused a stir with their outfits and the cheerleader fight that stole the show on a recent college football Saturday – it has been one thing after another.

In some ways, this is the most tame and heartwarming thing involving cheerleaders to happen in recent months.

Time will tell if the Sixers can win an NBA championship this year, but if they do – it may prove to be the perfect cherry atop a memorable proposal for this very happy couple.
