Nick Cannon Coaches Son Golden in Adorable Dunk Moment

Nick Cannon has given fans a sweet peek into his home court by sharing a Instagram video reposted by The Shade Room. The clip—simply captioned “Beautiful moment!👏🏾”—features the 3-year-old Golden Sagon Cannon learning to dunk under the guidance of his father.

Nick Cannon’s Mini Nba Coaching

In the original footage, Cannon lifts Golden high beneath a child-sized basketball hoop, positioning him just right for the shot. As Golden releases the ball with a determined grin, a soft cheer echoes off-camera. The proud dad then scoops his son into a celebratory hug, cementing a bonding moment that has resonated with viewers across social media.

Fatherhood In Focus

The video arrives on the heels of Cannon’s own tribute to his father last June. In an emotional Father’s Day post, he wrote:

“Happy Father’s Day pops. I love you so much, dad. You’ve always been there for me and helped me with whatever problem I’m dealing with at any time and any place. Thank you for raising me to be the dude I am today.”—Nick Cannon

That message underscored the generational link of support Cannon now extends to his own children. Over the past decade, he’s welcomed twelve kids with six different partners, balancing a bustling family life alongside hosting duties on Wild ’N Out and America’s Got Talent, plus his music and entrepreneurial ventures.

Since Golden’s arrival in February 2017, Cannon has made it clear that hands-on parenting is a priority. Fans lauded the dunk drill video not only for its cuteness factor but also for what it reveals about Cannon’s coaching approach—patient, playful and focused on building confidence.

Fans Rally Behind The Duo

Comments poured in under The Shade Room’s repost, with one user writing, “This is the energy we need!” and another adding, “Golden’s gonna be the next LeBron!” The viral moment has sparked a flurry of memes and highlight reels celebrating Nick’s dual role as celebrity and dad.

Through it all, Cannon remains open about the ups and downs of fatherhood. In interviews, he credits his own childhood—marked by economic hardship and the loss of his father’s kidney—as the fuel for his commitment to break cycles and nurture each child’s dreams.

As Golden levels up his basketball game, viewers are reminded that behind every highlight reel is a parent cheering on their child. For Cannon, this is more than a viral clip—it’s a snapshot of family values in motion.
