Happy birthday to the one and only Christian Laettner—the man who made "The Shot" look easier than ordering pizza! Ever since that legendary buzzer-beater against Kentucky in 1992, you've set a timeless standard for miraculous March Madness moments. You taught us all never to blink at zero seconds—unless we want to miss basketball history.Christian, thanks not just for giving Duke fans eternal bragging rights, but also reminding everyone else there's always hope (and maybe some jealousy). From NCAA championships to your NBA adventures and Olympic gold medal glory with the Dream Team—you've truly aged like fine wine... or at least finely-tuned jump shots. Happy Birthday legend!
