10. Drew Brees Invents (Not Really) Celebrating With Your Kids

While we can give credit to Kobe Bryant for being the grandfather of celebrating championships with your kids in the NBA, Drew Brees helped cross it over to the NFL.

After winning Super Bowl XLIV in 2010, Brees brought his son Baylen out and it gave us an adorable image for the ages in Super Bowl history.

9. Henrik Lundqvist Wishes You A Merry Christmas

New York Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist is insanely talented at stopping pucks from getting past him. He’s also great at being an adorable father with an adorable daughter.

Here he is celebrating Christmas with Charlise Lundqvist, wishing you a season’s greeting you shouldn’t let get past you.

8. Ronaldo Chills In a Hammock With Junior

Messi isn’t the only soccer star who doubles as a dope dad. Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, whom Messi is consistently placed up against as far as the greatest living soccer player, knows how to be a top notch dad away from the pitch.

As if he couldn’t get any dreamy and desirable.

7. P.J. Rose Was First, Riley Curry

We all most vividly remember Riley Curry crawling around Steph Curry’s press conference, but she was just copying P.J. Rose. The son of Chicago Bulls star Derrick Rose crashed his father’s press conference following Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

It was the last good memory the Bulls had all season, but at least it was adorable.

Young P.J. certainly didn’t inherit his rambunctious press conference skills from his father.

6. Matt Barnes Has Conflicted Twins

There is probably no NBA player as interesting as Matt Barnes. While he can be a solid contributor to a team while still managing to get overshadowed, he’s known mostly for his mean on-court demeanor.

He makes adorable children though, even if they may be conflicted about who to root for when it comes to the Clippers-Warriors rivalry.

Now that Matt Barnes plays in Memphis, we don’t have to worry about his kids taking the wrong side anymore.

5. David Beckham Embarrasses His Son

Technology is scary to old people, but not to soccer legend David Beckham. The concept of videoboming is lost on those older than 40, but Beckham knows how to interact with Millenials.

While son Brooklyn Beckham was trying to be a hip young Instagrammer, senior Beckham crashed the party and dropped the mic.

Well played sir, well played.

4. Jimmie Johnson Honors America With Daughter

Celebrating with your kid isn’t just about doing so in a major sport after a championship. Jimmie Johnson routinely brings his young and adorable daughter Evie Johnson out to NASCAR events.

They even celebrate America together.

3. Kaz Uehara Crashes His Dad’s Big Moment

One of the best parts about the World Series run the Boston Red Sox went on a few years ago was electric closer Konji Uehara. Not only was he lights out on the mound, but his son Kaz won us all over.

Especially Erin Andrews.

2. Dwyane Wade’s Sons Double As Groomsman

Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade is never shy to demonstrate what a great father he is. Not only does he put them in commercials with him, but he put them in a primo spot for his wedding to wife Gabrielle Union.

Wade has been a great father, something he regularly demonstrates with his adorable kids.

1. Derek Jeter’s Nephew Wins Everything

When Derek Jeter played his last game inside Yankee Stadium last season, he ended his reign with a walk-off single that caused the city to erupt. It brought back all the memories of the World Series wins, the thrilling October finishes and all the good times spent with Jeter.

His nephew Jalen capped things off — literally — in the most adorable way possible.
