NBA star Iman Shumpert successfully made what is likely the player's most important catch of a lifetime earlier this week when he delivered his daughter after his fiancée Teyana Taylor suddenly went into labor.

The Cleveland Cavaliers player sounded emotional at times during the recently released 15-minute audio clip of the 911 call that he placed Wednesday morning when Taylor suddenly went into labor a month before her due date in the couple's bathroom.

The clip begins with the dispatcher asking: 'Cleveland EMS and fire, what's your emergency?'

Taylor can be heard in the background screaming as Shumpert yells 'Oh she's having the baby, the head's coming out!'

Shumpert, 25, repeats to the dispatcher that the baby's head is out as the dispatcher requests to be taken off of speakerphone so that he can hear him better.

'I have my daughter in my hand,' Shumpert tells the dispatcher who asked for their address.

The dispatcher then proceeded to ask Shumpert a number of questions about Taylor and the baby, who they named Iman Tayla Shumpert Jr.

In his replies, Shumpert's voice can be heard sounding emotional as he cried.

'The umbilical cord, what do I do what do I do?' he asked the dispatcher.

The dispatcher instructed Shumpert to tie off the umbilical cord 'with a piece of string, a shoe lace, anything' six inches from the baby.

'I'm getting some headphones now, I'm reaching some headphones now,' Shumpert told the dispatcher.

The basketball player successfully tied off the baby's umbilical cord with a pair of headphones, in addition to wrapping the baby in clean towels along with covering Taylor, 25, up with blankets to keep her warm.

During the call, the dispatcher congratulated Shumpert on becoming a father and told him several times that he did a great job delivering the baby.

Shumpert shared a heartwarming photo to Instagram Friday of him laying down holding his new daughter.

'We have successfully started our very own family! '2015 has been capped off with a grand finale!' he captioned the image on Instagram.

'Our beautiful daughter is finally here and doing well along with her beautiful mother (my fiancé!!!).

'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!

'Our bathroom is forever sacred lbs! 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 @teyanataylor 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! Thank you to all those that have sent positive vibes our way. You all are deeply appreciated!'

The new mother also shared a video clip on Instagram of the NBA player singing to their daughter while he affectionately holds her as she gazes up to him.

Taylor wrote in the caption of the video: ''#Pricelessmoments My two favorite people #SmileyFaces is still her favorite song.'

The songwriter shared a photo Thursday of their new baby girl with a sweet message on Instagram.

'On Dec 16th at 6:42am in our bathroom Junie decided she wanted to take her first breath into this world,' the actress wrote.

'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 (sic) grand entrance 5 min later,' Teyana wrote.

'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,' the proud new mom wrote.

'Our family is complete,' wrote the singer.

'Her blueprint will be unmatched. Welcome Iman Tayla Shumpert Jr. Mommy carried you. Daddy delivered you.'

The baby girl arrived exactly one month before her January 16 due date.

The couple became engaged in November, when the former New York Knicks player got down on one knee and proposed at the new mother's royalty-themed baby shower.

Shumpert signed a $4.43million qualifying offer during the off-season to stay with the Cavaliers.

He recently returned to the court after battling an injury to begin the season, but suffered a groin strain on during a game against the Boston Celtics in Boston.

The Cavaliers expect him back on the floor soon, but he remains sidelined for now.
