Let's make this birthday one to remember.

49 years old (Born on January 11, 1976)

Happy Birthday to Efthimios Rentzias, basketball's favorite Greek giant! At 6'11", your impressive height not only made jerseys look tiny but also put European and NBA courts under your shadow. From draining hook shots with perfect precision in Europe to stepping onto the hardwood for Philadelphia, you’ve always stood tall—figuratively and literally.

Though you retired from dominating rebounds back in 2005, fans still reminisce about your game-deciding blocks and silky post moves. Here’s wishing that today is filled with laughter, joy, and perhaps no ceiling lamps harmed by accidental collisions! May this year be another slam dunk adventure. Happy Birthday Efthimios!
