Let's make this birthday one to remember.

51 years old (Born on August 23, 1973)

Happy Birthday, Charlotte! Ever since that legendary buzzer-beater in '94—when you soared above the court and sank the shot heard around Tar Heel nation—you've been proving to us all that clutch moments are your specialty. Seriously, we're still replaying it; rumor has it even gravity paused for a second just to watch.

Wishing you another year filled with victories as thrilling as your championship-winning basket. May life continue giving you open lanes, perfect passes—and plenty of cake that's sweeter than beating Louisiana Tech at the final horn. Keep inspiring us all by being outstanding both on and off the court!
