Hilarious moment man proposes to his girlfriend during Knicks game at Madison Square Garden only for the romantic scene to be ruined by New York’s Julius Randle arguing with a referee in the background

New York Knicks star Julius Randle just couldn't suppress his frustration with the officials Thursday night, even ruining a couple's engagement during a game.

The forward marched to the middle of the field during a stoppage in play against the Pistons and began taking out his frustration on the officials.

But what he didn't realize is that just a few feet behind him, a couple got engaged in front of nearly 20,000 people at Madison Square Garden.

Hilarious footage of the proposal shows that Randle is killing any kind of romantic vibe and that his 6-foot-2, 250-pound frame will forever be the backdrop to the couple's engagement.

The engagement footage begins with the couple waving at the camera after winning tickets to the Radio City Christmas Spectacular, featuring the Rockettes.

Randle didn't stop complaining when the man popped the question at Madison Square Garden

Even when they kissed after she said yes, Randle was still protesting a decision against New York

The man then goes in for a kiss and then immediately drops to one knee as the arena's organist begins playing “Here Comes the Bride” over the speakers.

It's at this point that you see Randle leave the Knicks huddle with a towel around his neck and make his way onto the court to talk to the officials.

The man then hands his girlfriend a ring and she is left completely speechless with her hands over her mouth.

But there's Randle in the background, protesting to officials about a decision that didn't go his way just moments earlier.

As she says “I do” and kisses her new fiancé, Randle is still complaining in the background of the recording.

Even as the man puts her new ring on her finger, Randle still dominates the screen behind them as he refuses to let his argument rest.

Social media users were also quick to spot Randle and found the situation hilarious.

One wrote: 'The whole proposal is about Randle complaining to the referee, wtf!'.

Another added: “Imagine looking back at your proposal and it's Julius Randle complaining to the refs in the background the whole time lol.”

“If you're proposing at a Knicks game, I imagine this is exactly what you wanted, lol,” another wrote.
