Let's make this birthday one to remember.

80 years old (Born on February 26, 1945)

Happy Birthday, Giannis Ioannidis! From courtside legend to political powerhouse, you've always known how to call the shots—whether it's leading teams to championships or navigating the tricky plays of politics. Your induction into the Greek Basketball Hall of Fame proves you're a master strategist both on and off the court.

Now that you've traded your whistle for parliamentary debates, we hope your birthday is filled with fewer fouls and more cake! May your year ahead be as successful as your coaching career and as smooth as one of your legendary game-winning strategies. Cheers to you, Coach—keep scoring victories!
