Let's make this birthday one to remember.

53 years old (Born on December 17, 1971)

Happy Birthday, Nikki McCray! You're still scoring points in our hearts faster than you did on the court. From dazzling us with your moves as a three-time WNBA All-Star for teams like the Washington Mystics and Phoenix Mercury to bringing home Olympic gold medals in 1996 and 2000—your legacy is truly legendary.

We hope today brings more joy than sinking that perfect buzzer-beater or standing atop an Olympic podium (though those are pretty tough acts to follow). May this year be filled with laughter, love, and fewer sore knees from all those victory dances you've earned over the years. Cheers!
