Kyrie Irving is one proud father.

The Cleveland Cavaliers point guard took to Instagram on Tuesday night to share a photo of himself holding his new baby girl, Azurie Elizabeth Irving.

"35 hours of labor from her great mother and she came into the world to bring a shine to my world that I never thought was possible. I love you so much, and my heart grew the first time I felt your heart against mine," Irving wrote.

His daughter's middle name honors his mother, Elizabeth, who passed away due to Sepsis Syndrome when she was 29.

"Mommy, I gave her your name because I know you will bless her and our family the same way you blessed me. I love you."
