The Oklahoma City Thunder won their first NBA title on Sunday night after topping the Indiana Pacers 103–91 in Game 7 of the Finals. That set off a raucous celebration in Oklahoma City but one interested party won't remember it.

As the Thunder stood on a stage at center court during the celebratory trophy presentation, center Isaiah Hartenstein held his young son, Elijah. Unfortunately, the young Hartenstein slept through the entire thing. Somehow, despite a sellout crowd of around 18,000 at the Paycom Center and all the excitement around him, Hartenstein's son was dead asleep on his father's chest. It was truly a remarkable sight.
