There are certain people who happen to complete life in all aspects. Through sheer luck, faith, will, or the grace of god some people do get it all.

The Boston Celtics are headed to the NBA Finals for the first time in 14 years courtesy of a stellar coaching job by Ime Udoka. The Nigerian has been sensational since his hire and the Celtics have turned a corner since the start of this year.

It is only natural that he be on cloud nine. And as NBA Twitter recently found out, his wife is quite happy too.

That’s right, Ime Udoka is married to none other than Nia Long. The actress has been one of the most popular faces to have emerged in the late 90s and continues to win hearts till today.

Of course, Twitter would explode when they found out who Udoka was married to.

As one user summed it up, in his first year Ime has outperformed and exceeded expectations. On top of that, he gets to go home to Nia Long. Winning.

Another user was quick to point out why a certain demographic of Twitter is unable to understand what is happening when Nia Long trends every time the Celtics win. Well, now they know.

While Ime wins, the rest of the world stays losing. This reminds us of a certain J Cole lyric.
