90 years old (Born on September 16, 1934)
Happy Birthday to the legendary Elgin Baylor! Since your glory days with the Lakers from 1958-1971, defenders still haven't recovered from watching you defy gravity. Your signature "hanging" jump shots left players confused—half amazed, half wondering if you'd ever come back down.Today we celebrate you and those magical thirteen seasons. Every year adds more nostalgia for us fans who remember the impossible leaps that looked like slow-motion ballet mid-air. Here's hoping this year's celebration hangs majestically in time—just like your famous jumper did—and proves once again you're timelessly unstoppable both on court and off.
