The Cleveland Cavaliers players had many ways of celebrating their historic win against the Golden State Warriors on Sunday. 

For power forward Kevin Love, that included emulating Stone Cold Steve Austin, cracking open two beers and attempting to chug both at once. 

In a Vine posted by Ananth Pandian, Love can be seen wearing an 'Austin 3:16' shirt and holding a can of Coors Light in each hand.

As camera bulbs flash, Love's attempt to pour the cans of beer into his mouth go awry and his face is covered in foam

He dumps the cans into his mouth, only unlike Steve Austin, the beer gushes foamy head on to his face rather than pour smoothly into his mouth.

But - successful pour or not - Love clearly enjoying the moment as his team claims its first-ever NBA title win.

He jumps forward and hugs the player standing in front of him as a crowd cheers and camera bulbs flash. 

The Vine has been replayed nearly 1.4 million times.  

Love was drafted to the Minnesota Timberwolves in 2008 before being traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2014. 

But not even a face full of beer could put a damper on the moment as Love joyously hugs a teammate before walking away with a smile

The move was an homage to WWE wrestler Stone Cold Steve Austin, who would pour two beers in his mouth as a signature move
