Let's make this birthday one to remember.

63 years old (Born on October 13, 1961)

Happy Birthday, Derek Harper! You're still guarding birthdays like you guarded opponents—relentlessly and with style. Just like your legendary defensive hustle on the court, may you continue to block out negativity and steal every joyful moment life throws your way.

From locking down NBA legends to becoming a timeless icon of defensive grit, you've always shown us how it's done. Here's hoping this year brings you as many victories off the court as you've had on it—and fewer fouls called at family gatherings! Keep dribbling through life with that same tenacity; age is just another opponent you'll easily outmaneuver.
