As far as pregnancy announcements go - this one would have to be every dad-to-be's dream. A US basketball fan today learned he was going to be a dad by reading it on the big screen during an NBA game.

The Orlando Magic fan was at the game with his partner when the 'kiss cam' panned to them during a break in play. As the crowd cheered the kissing couple a special message appeared on the screen: 'Congrats James! You are going to be a dad'.

James took a second or two to comprehend what he was reading, before being overcome with emotion.
