Let's make this birthday one to remember.

81 years old (Born on August 30, 1943)

Happy Birthday, Tal Brody! From your legendary days guarding the court for Maccabi Tel Aviv to that unforgettable 1977 European Championship victory—when you famously declared "We are on the map!"—you've always known how to make history with style. Your moves were smoother than hummus and more memorable than a buzzer-beater.

Even though you've hung up your sneakers long ago, you're still scoring points in our hearts every year. May this birthday be filled with laughter, joy, and plenty of replays of those iconic moments when you put Israeli basketball firmly into everyone's spotlight. Keep shining bright—you’re forever MVP material!
