Let's make this birthday one to remember.

39 years old (Born on August 17, 1986)

Happy birthday to Rudy Gay, the NBA veteran who started thrilling crowds in Memphis back when flip phones were cool! You've proven that age is just a number—much like points scored and smiles given. From electrifying dunks with the Grizzlies to making big plays in Sacramento, your career has been as timelessly enjoyable as watching Uncle Drew school rookies on street courts.

Whether it was dropping buzzer-beaters or gracefully dunking over towering opponents, you've made each game memorable. Here's hoping this year brings more highlight reels…and fewer sore joints after playing defense against guys born after you entered the league! Celebrate big, Rudy—you're still ballin' strong.
