For ex-Knicks guard Iman Shumpert it was the role of a lifetime.

“I’ve got my daughter in my hands,” an emotional Shumpert told the 911 dispatcher in an extended audio clip that was obtained by WKYC.com.

The 15-minute audio clip starts with the dispatcher: “Cleveland EMS and fire, what’s your emergency?”

The emergency? Just the NBA player’s fiancee, R&B star Teyana Taylor, unexpectedly going into labor early Wednesday morning.

Iman Shumpert’s emotional 911 call during the birth of his baby girl is made public.

“The umbilical cord? What do I do,” Shumpert asked over the phone as you can hear the baby crying in the background.

The dispatcher asked Shumpert for a status on both the baby and the mother, and then waits on the line as the paramedics struggled to get into his building.

“You did a great job, you really did,” the dispatcher told Shumpert. “It’s not every day that somebody delivers a baby on the phone.”

Taylor first shared the news to the public in an Instagram post Thursday afternoon.

“On Dec 16th at 6:42 am in our bathroom Junie decided she wanted to take her first breath into this world. She came out as a wonderful surprise to everyone!”
