Rafiki lifting baby Simba up over the inhabitants of Pride Rock to announce his birth to the tune of "Circle of Life" is one of the most iconic movie moments maybe ever, so it's no surprise that parents sometimes have the urge to lift up their babies in the same way. The Denver Nuggets took advantage of this hilarious fact at their home game last Friday night and switched up the usual "kiss cam" for a "Lion King cam," in which — you guessed it — parents were meant to lift their babies up over their heads for the whole crowd to see.
Watch the video to see the hysterical substitution — which should definitely be a permanent fixture at sporting events.
