Julia Louis-Dreyfus was already famous worldwide before the world found out her son is a Northwestern basketball walk-on. Her reaction shots during Northwestern’s run through the NCAA tournament last year was wonderful, and now there is another chapter to add to her reaction portfolio: when her son scored his first ever point.
Charlie Hall certainly had the support of his team when he did score his first point on a free throw (and the announcers also promptly went nuts):
Hall celebrated in the only way someone from his lineage could:

And his mother responded on Twitter with this:
My boy. https://t.co/h2euEagDSN

We’re sure Hall and JLD will never forget this moment for the rest of their lives, and we’re also sure the internet isn’t going to forget either since the internet loves themselves some Elaine. Everyone loves it when the walk-ons score points, especially so when the walk-on has a famous parent.
