93 years old (Born on October 07, 1931)
Happy Birthday to the legendary Cotton Fitzsimmons! The man who turned Phoenix into a basketball oasis, bringing sunshine and slam dunks throughout the late '80s and early '90s. Your coaching brilliance gave Suns fans unforgettable moments—like that magical 1988-89 season turnaround from 28 wins to an incredible 55 victories!Cotton, your fiery courtside charisma was as iconic as those sharp suits you rocked on game nights. Thanks for making every timeout entertaining and reminding us all why we fell in love with basketball. Here's hoping heaven has plenty of clipboards—you've probably already coached angels into playoff contenders up there!
