Let's make this birthday one to remember.

41 years old (Born on June 26, 1984)

Happy birthday to the legendary J.J. Barea—the pride of Puerto Rico and NBA courts everywhere! From your fearless drives into towering defenders, proving height is just a number, to that unforgettable 2011 championship run with Dallas Mavericks—your hustle has always been taller than any opponent.

Whether dazzling fans in Minnesota or becoming an icon back home in Puerto Rico, you've shown us all how passion and determination can overcome anything—even seven-foot-tall obstacles. Here's hoping your special day brings as much joy as you brought Mavs Nation when lifting that trophy high above your head. Feliz cumpleaños, campeón!
