Nothing warms you up for game day quite like chasing a one-year-old on the basketball court. NBA player and dad, Russell Westbrook took his son, Noah, to work and we’re pretty sure he wins MVP for cuteness.

The Oklahoma City Thunder point guard brought his pint-sized trainer to the court a little pre-game warm-up where they took turns assisting each other’s baskets, which in Noah’s case were provided by dad’s arms forming a circle to shoot the ball through.

Fans praised the adorable video, which the team posted on Twitter, pointing out that Westbrook is a great dad and role model. Being a dad clearly inspires Westbrook in his career, the point guard recently unveiled his new athletic shoe collab with Nike Jordan and was proud to announce that the shoe, which Noah modeled, comes in full family sizing, “so every athlete, no matter their age, has a shoe they feel proud to play in.”
