Let's make this birthday one to remember.

81 years old (Born on July 12, 1943)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Paul Silas! You've grabbed more rebounds than most people have candles on their cakes—over 10,000 boards in your NBA career. Clearly, age is just another stat you're dominating!

From being a two-time All-Star player who ruled under the basket, to coaching teams like the Clippers, Hornets (both Charlotte and New Orleans!), Cavaliers, and Bobcats—you've truly done it all. Your legacy continues as one of basketball's great rebounders and respected coaches.

Here's hoping this birthday brings you fewer technical fouls but plenty of cake slices—and may every wish bounce right into reality!
