Cavs guard Iman Shumpert delivers fiancée’s baby in bathroom (Photo)

It was quite a morning for Cleveland Cavaliers guard Iman Shumpert on Wednesday. No, he wasn’t pondering playing time in a past or upcoming game, but instead he was focused on delivering his newborn baby in the bathroom of his home.

The Associated Press noted that the Shumpert’s fiancée, Teyana Taylor, went into labor a month early and while she was in the bathtub. The athlete sprang into action since his baby girl was not waiting and delivered her with his bare hands and the help of a pair of headphones to steady the umbilical cord until medical personnel arrived.

Taylor posted a photo of Shumpert and their little one on Instagram with the message “Mommy carried you. Daddy delivered you. #MeetTheParents we love you baby girl.”

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????????????????????
