Let's make this birthday one to remember.

47 years old (Born on February 14, 1978)

Happy Birthday, Rip Hamilton! May your celebrations be smoother than that legendary 15-foot jumper of yours—always reliable and forever clutch. We still remember how you ran defenders ragged around screens, making mid-range jumpers look easier than blowing out birthday candles.

Thanks for bringing Detroit Pistons fans the unforgettable joy of an NBA Championship in 2004. Your iconic mask became a symbol of toughness and determination—and let's face it, nobody rocked protective gear quite like you did. Here's hoping this year brings as much success and happiness off-court as you've given us on-court memories!

Enjoy your day, champ—you've earned it!
