This is the world's proudest uncle.

University of Kansas guard Wayne Selden Jr. certainly has a lot of fans, but none more passionate than his Uncle Anthony.

Anthony Pitts Jr. has taken on the role of big-clock-wearing hype man for the Jayhawks throughout the Big 12 tournament. Whenever Selden makes a great play, Uncle Anthony goes absolutely wild in the stands.

Following his reaction to a Selden dunk in the semifinals, Pitts promised reporters that he'd be back with bigger reactions and a bigger clock, and he didn't disappoint.

If you're worried that this could be embarrassing for Selden, you have nothing to fear. The star guard seems to find the whole situation hilarious.


More than game time stadium antics, Uncle Anthony has begun tweeting inspirational speeches for the team.

Something tells us this March Madness is getting to Uncle Anthony.
