Let's make this birthday one to remember.

36 years old (Born on December 14, 1988)

Happy Birthday, Nicolas Batum! With a wingspan so ridiculously long (7-foot-1!), we're pretty sure you can high-five someone in Paris while still draining threes from L.A. Ever since your NBA debut with the Portland Trail Blazers back in 2008, you've been making opponents rethink their life choices—especially when they dare challenge your lockdown defense or silky-smooth jumper.

From clutch corner triples to epic defensive stops, you've given fans countless reasons to cheer—and opposing shooters plenty of nightmares. Here's hoping this birthday brings as much joy and success as all those times you casually swatted shots into next week. Bonne fête Nico!
