Happy Birthday, Z-Bo! From snagging rebounds to dominating the paint, you've always been smoother than a Memphis blues riff. Who knew that when you won Most Improved Player back in 2004 with Portland you'd keep improving until becoming an All-Star Grizzly legend? Clearly aging like fine barbecue sauce!Your grit-and-grind style made opponents tremble and fans cheer louder—especially during those unforgettable playoff battles. Even retirement can't box out your legacy; you're forever our favorite big man who proved hustle beats muscle every time (though having both helps!). Here's hoping today brings as much joy as watching defenders bounce off you did for us!
