Great national anthem singers will give the audience chills, and during an NBA Playoffs game on Tuesday, 12-year-old Nicholas Connors not only captured the audience's attention but also NFL player J.J. Watt's. The Houston Texans defensive lineman was so impressed by Nicholas's performance that he ran up to the boy to give him a handshake and a hug in the middle of the court, and the little boy's reaction was downright adorable. J.J. continued to spread the cuteness when he danced with a fan after the Houston Rockets beat the Dallas Mavericks [2]. It appeared J.J. couldn't get Nicholas off his mind, though, because on Wednesday he tweeted, "Could y'all help me get in contact with Nicholas? He dominated the national anthem last night." Check out the priceless moment below, and then see New England Patriots' Rob Gronkowski do his best booty shake at a Clippers game [3].

Could y'all help me get in contact with Nicholas? He dominated the national anthem last night. https://t.co/bcu48d4kJA [4]
