Grace did appear to jokingly fall asleep as Michael spoke to her. He eventually woke her up, and she kissed him on the cheek. Suffice it to say, this is a lot better than the last time they were at a Pacers game.
Why did this couple go viral during a Pacers game?
The two went viral during a Pacers game against the Brooklyn Nets in April 2026 at the Barclays Center. Michael was talking to her, and Grace was glancing all around the arena before seemingly saying, “That’s you…What the f**k are you talking about?”
Michael and Grace later appeared on Inside the NBA after they went viral. Shaquille O’Neal caught flak from Grace, who compared him to a “creepy horny uncle trying to embarrass his nephew.”
This was because Shaq put Michael on the spot, asking if he was going to propose to Grace. He then said that if he did it that moment, he would pay for the engagement ring.
Smartly, in the awkward moment, Michael turned the tables on the Inside the NBA crew, saying he would, on the condition that “you guys agree to come to the wedding.” The rest of the table didn’t agree, and Grace interjected, clarifying that she “didn’t agree to this.”
Fans will have to wait and see if Michael and Grace are invited back after going viral again for their latest appearance at a Pacers-Nets game. The Pacers once again beat the Nets, blowing them out by 27 points behind Tyrese Haliburton’s 24-point performance.
