Happy Birthday, Shaka Smart! Your coaching magic during the unforgettable 2011 NCAA Tournament run with VCU still amazes us all. Watching your high-energy style and legendary run to the Final Four, you reminded everyone that basketball miracles do happen—even if our brackets suffered in disbelief!Years later, you're still at it—turning teams around and hyping sidelines better than anyone else. Your talent for empowering players continues to shine brighter each season. Wishing you another year full of buzzer-beating excitement, locker-room celebrations—and hopefully fewer nerve-wracking tournament games! Keep making history; March madness just wouldn't be as crazy without you!
