After a delivery she described as “magical” and “effortless,” Megan King and her husband Jon welcomed a healthy female human into the world just after 2am this morning. The child weighed 6 pounds, 11 ounces and measured in at 19 inches at the moment of her birth.

Megan and Jon have named this lovely creature Mallory Ann King. The Monsoon Martin extended family wishes Megan, Jon, and Mallory every happiness. (Below is a photo of the actual newborn.)

In an extremely good omen, Mallory shares a birthday with Maurice “Mo” Cheeks, Monsoon’s favorite basketball player of all time—a member of the 1983 NBA Champion 76ers and Sixers head coach since May 2005—who was born on this day in 1956.

Here’s a video chronicling Mo Cheeks’ days as an amazing point guard in the NBA; here’s a video of Coach Cheeks in Portland famously coming to the aid of a young lady who’d forgotten the words to the National Anthem.

Congratulations!

Monsoon
