Let's make this birthday one to remember.

48 years old (Born on January 26, 1977)

Happy Birthday, Vince Carter! You're the only guy who can dunk over a 7-footer and still make it look easier than blowing out birthday candles. From your gravity-defying slam at the 2000 Olympics to those unforgettable All-Star moments with the New Jersey Nets, you've given us highlights that never age—unlike some of our knees.

Even though you retired from basketball courts, you're forever soaring in NBA history as "Half-Man Half-Amazing." May this year bring more joy than all your career buzzer-beaters combined—and fewer aches after pickup games. Keep flying high; legends like you don't get older—they level up!
