Iman Shumpert can't believe how awesome it is to be dad of a baby girl

Last week, Iman Shumpert of the Cleveland Cavaliers had to conduct an emergency delivery of his newborn daughter in his own bathroom.

He did such a good job that the 911 dispatcher gave him huge props, and his fiancee documented the successful delivery after the fact on Instagram.

In the days since then, Shumpert says he has finally come to realize how awesome it is to be the dad of a baby girl and what everyone meant when they told him about the preciousness of fatherhood.

He posted this picture the other day, writing: "This is definitely the best assist I've ever recorded in my life. We were indeed terrified until I finally saw her hair ... then the fear left and I kinda just knew what to do! People always tell me there is no greater gift than fatherhood and I finally understand the feeling. I'm not too proud to say I cried endless tears of joy for my first born. 

"Thank you [fiancee Teyana Taylor] for this gift and for turning our houses to homes, you are truly special in every aspect! My smile still hasn't left since her first breath!"

If that doesn't display the complete awe of fatherhood that Shumpert is now experiencing, then him singing to his baby girl, in total disbelief of how lucky he is, will.

Congrats to Iman and Teyana. It'll be hard for them to top this holiday season.
