This is perhaps an even greater philosophical question than: "Why do some people consider cheerleading a sport?"

For today we must consider how to hold a baby and watch the NBA Finals at the same time.

Should we turn on our televisions and hold the baby with both arms? Or does modern man hold his large-screened cell phone in one hand, while cradling baby in the other?

Samsung has a position on this. For its new Galaxy S4 ad insists on the latter pose as the ideal for both man and baby.

This ad, a follow-up to one released on Monday which introduced this sympathetic pair, sees dad slumped in an armchair, looking like Daniel Craig after being pummeled by several men in dark suits.

If the storyline of the first ad is anything to go by, he has been pummeled by his newborn's flatulence.

Still, he believes that there is some correlation between his son's birth and an unbeaten run by his Miami Heat. (The NBA Finals start Thursday. What a coincidence.)

This concept makes his eyes look even more haggard than Dwyane Wade's knees.

However, you will know that just by turning your head away, you can pause videos on your S4.
