Let's make this birthday one to remember.

40 years old (Born on June 22, 1985)

Happy Birthday, Big Sofo! At 6'10", you've always stood tall—literally and figuratively. From dominating the paint in Greece to making your mark with the Los Angeles Clippers, you’ve given basketball fans countless memorable moments (and opponents plenty of nightmares). Your powerful presence on court earned medals for Greece and cheers worldwide; rumor has it some backboards still tremble at just hearing your name.

May this birthday be as legendary as that unstoppable dunk or those epic blocks we've replayed endlessly. Keep towering over life's challenges like they're undersized defenders trying desperately not to get posterized by "Baby Shaq." Cheers!
