Happy birthday to the one and only Nnanna Egwu—the man who turned slam dunks at Saint Ignatius High School into first-team, all-state artwork! Your journey from burning up high school courts to joining the mighty Fighting Illini in 2011 has been nothing short of legendary. Just like your rebounds, birthdays keep coming back around—but hey, with style like yours on court (and off-court charm), age is definitely just another stat.May your day be full of more victories than buzzer beaters you've sunk—sweet as that moment when you donned that Illinois jersey for the first time. Here's hoping this next year brings just as much swagger on court and laughter off it—because seriously Nnanna, you're taller every year but somehow still haven't touched "too grown" jokes yet. Happy Birthday champ!
