Let's make this birthday one to remember.

44 years old (Born on August 29, 1980)

Happy birthday, David West! The man who dominated the court for years and made the Hornets buzz before joining Indiana to show everyone what real hustle looks like. You've given fans so many epic moments—from powering through defenders in New Orleans to battling fiercely alongside your Pacers teammates during that legendary 2013 showdown with LeBron's Miami Heat.

Sure, Game 7 might've slipped away—but hey, facing Prime King James? Winning wasn't easy when you were tasked against basketball royalty. Cheers on your special day to a player who's tougher than nails and smoother than a CP3 assist! Have an awesome one!
