Let's make this birthday one to remember.

Happy Birthday, Steve Rushin! From crafting legendary Sports Illustrated stories to expertly navigating life alongside basketball royalty Rebecca Lobo, you've truly mastered the art of sports journalism—and surviving family pickup games. Your wit and wisdom continue to score points both on paper and at home.

Here's hoping your birthday is filled with as many laughs as your columns have given us over the years. May you celebrate another year of slam-dunk successes—professionally, personally, and especially in keeping up with Rebecca's sharp commentary skills. Cheers to more memorable moments ahead; after all, you're still our favorite MVP (Most Valuable Penman)!
