Let's make this birthday one to remember.

83 years old (Born on May 31, 1942)

Today, we celebrate the life and legacy of Harold Hairston, whose energy on the court with the Los Angeles Lakers always lit up our faces. Known not only for his fierce competitiveness but also his endless charisma, Harold had an unforgettable way of turning every game into a masterpiece. Whether sinking clutch shots or hustling for rebounds, he made basketball seem effortless—something fans could truly envy.

Beyond stats and scoresheets, Harold's smile was legendary—it could light up entire stadiums (and possibly even power half of Los Angeles!). Though he's no longer here physically, remembering him today brings laughter and joy to all who loved seeing him do what he did best: inspiring smiles and cheering crowds wherever he went. Happy Birthday in spirit to a true star!
