Iman Shumpert just had the best assist of his life.

Fiancee Teyana Taylor says in her Instagram post that she went into labor on Wednesday morning but did not immediately recognize it until she felt her baby's head emerging while in the bathroom.

That's when the Cleveland Cavaliers guard stepped up and, not only caught little Iman Tayla Shumpert Jr., but also used red headphones to tie the umbilical cord.

On Dec 16th at 6:42am in our bathroom Junie decided she wanted to take her first breath into this world. She came out as a wonderful surprise to everyone! Not knowing I was in labor until I felt her head...it took two ten count pushes with my fiancé playing Dr and she entered this world into his bare hands! Eyes full of tears and barely able to speak to the emergency operator @imanshumpert tied a pair of red headphones around the umbilical cord and the ambulance made there grand entrance 5 min later. She opened her eyes right away, gazed into mine and never cried! He handed her to me wrapped in our bath towel and wiped her face for me to see what LOVE really is. She has blown Christmas away! Our family is complete. Her blueprint will be unmatched. Welcome Iman Tayla Shumpert Jr. Mommy carried you. Daddy delivered you. #MeetTheParents we love you baby girl💂🏾🐞👶🏾
