Let's make this birthday one to remember.

43 years old (Born on April 29, 1982)

Happy Birthday, Lenny Cooke! The man who boldly skipped college to chase NBA dreams and ended up becoming a legend at Rucker Park instead. Who needs the draft when you've got streetball fame? Your fearless moves on the court have inspired countless players—and probably terrified just as many defenders.

Here's wishing you another year filled with epic crossovers, unforgettable jump shots, and endless bragging rights from your legendary summer league days. May your birthday be smoother than your shooting stroke and more memorable than that time you schooled everyone under those iconic Harlem lights. Keep ballin', keep smiling—happy birthday, champ!
