He's sprawled back in a gray UCLA T-shirt, a sweet smile on his face.

A sweet, smitten smile as he looks down at a tiny baby dressed in pink lying on his chest.

Could it be that TNT analyst and beloved former Indiana Pacers player Reggie Miller has boom babied again?

"Never let go!!#LionessPaw #ShotgunReady" reads Miller's Instagram post Monday afternoon, with a photograph of him with a newborn baby.

It couldn't be, could it? The big 51st birthday is approaching in August for Miller, after all.

Seems it could be.

According to Sports Illustrated reporter Richard Deitsch, Miller missed Game 7 between the Golden State Warriors and the Oklahoma City Thunder after his significant other gave birth May 25.

More than 2,000 people have liked the photo with dozens offering congrats and calling the baby a daddy's girl.

"Another baby Bruin! Congrats,@reggiemillertnt," commented vee_tee3.

Miller, who played all 18 years of his NBA career with the Pacers, isn't new to this father thing. In fact, it seems he's pretty into it.

Last summer, Miller posted a video on Instagram of he and toddler son Ryker playing ball on one of those tiny plastic hoops. Miller is sitting on the couch when he gets an assist from Ryker. He pulls up, shoots and scores.

"Boom baby," Miller yells out.

Though in the public eye professionally, Miller has been extremely private about his personal life. He was married to Marita Stavrou from 1992 to 2001, but it's unknown whether he is married to his children's mother.
