Let's make this birthday one to remember.

43 years old (Born on January 30, 1982)

Happy Birthday, Desagana Diop! From your towering presence on the court to those unforgettable blocks that left opponents scratching their heads, you've always stood tall—literally and figuratively. Ever since you stepped onto the NBA hardwood with the Cleveland Cavaliers back in 2001, fans knew they were witnessing a Senegalese sensation destined for greatness (and some hilarious highlight reels).

Whether it was swatting shots into orbit or making centers think twice before entering your paint territory, you've given us countless memorable moments. Here's hoping this birthday is as legendary as your defensive prowess—and may no cake ever dare challenge you at rim protection!
