Andre Drummond of the Philadephia 76ers posted a stunning tweet on Thursday afternoon. It featured a video of a fully clothed Drummond jumping into his swimming pool to save his young son from drowning. 

The video shows the little guy sitting by the pool with several adults around. As he gets up, he loses his balance and falls in. Everyone notices, but then suddenly, from out of nowhere, Drummond comes into frame and immediately jumps into the pool to save his son. 

According to TMZ, Drummond's son is named Deon, and he's just two years old. 

Deon spent just a few seconds underwater — thanks to his dad's heroic effort — but it's a tense, scary few seconds. Drummond tweeted that that it's "a parents worst nightmare," which every parent can almost certainly confirm. 

Thankfully, the video had a happy ending. Not only was Deon safe, he was apparently smiling immediately after coming to the surface. And as soon as he was carried out of the pool and placed on the ground, he started trying to get back into the water. After that close call, none of the adults on hand were interested in letting that happen.
