Let's make this birthday one to remember.

71 years old (Born on October 10, 1953)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Gus Williams! You're still making assists—helping us remember when shorts were shorter, dunks were funkier, and championships happened in Seattle. Your epic 1979 NBA title run and two All-Star appearances remind fans how point guards led with style before Instagram highlights existed.

Even decades later, we're still celebrating your crossover magic and clutch moments on the hardwood. We hope today's birthday celebration rivals that glorious SuperSonics championship parade—but keep an eye out for any sneaky full-court presses by candles on your cake! Wishing you another fantastic year of success both on—and off—the court.
