Let's make this birthday one to remember.

41 years old (Born on June 11, 1983)

Happy Birthday, Chuck Hayes! The man who proved height is just a number—dominating the paint with hustle and heart since your NBA debut in 2006. Rockets fans still reminisce about those gritty rebounds, lockdown defense against giants twice your size, and that unforgettable free-throw style that's forever etched into basketball lore.

From Houston to Sacramento (and everywhere else you battled), you've shown us all how determination can outshine inches on any stat sheet. May this birthday bring as much joy as watching opponents underestimate you—and then regret it instantly!

Here's hoping today’s cake goes down smoother than those legendary foul shots!
