70 years old (Born on February 23, 1955)
Happy Birthday to the legendary Flip Saunders! You coached the Timberwolves for a decade, turning Minnesota winters into playoff seasons and making basketball fans forget about frostbite. Your time with the Pistons and Wizards proved you could handle anything—even Rasheed Wallace's technical fouls.From guiding Kevin Garnett to MVP greatness, to leading Detroit deep into playoff battles, your legacy remains timeless. Today we celebrate not just your wins on court but also your unmatched ability to rock a suit courtside.
Here's hoping your birthday is filled with fewer stressful buzzer-beaters and more cake than coaching diagrams. Cheers, Coach!
