Happy 43rd Birthday to Marcelo Huertas! Upon his Lakers debut in 2015, Huertas became the second-oldest rookie in NBA history - not counting the BAA years - at the age of 32 years, 156 days.

Happy 58th Birthday to Kendall Gill! The postseason trade of Gill for Hersey Hawkins was included in the PC version of NBA Jam Tournament Edition. Both players were unlocked after defeating all 27 teams in the tournament.

They may have been a middle of the pack team at best, but I loved this Bulls squad. The first time since the championship years that it felt truly exciting to follow them.

Happy 47th Birthday to Tracy McGrady! T-Mac was the cover player of NBA Live 07. While the game turned out to be rather cursed, McGrady fortunately didn't suffer any Madden-like misfortune that season. Also, The Temple was a pretty cool practice court, at least.

New York Knicks vs. San Antonio Spurs in NBA Live 99 for Nintendo 64. The Knicks are one win away from their first NBA Finals since 1999. The Spurs have a tougher road to make the rematch happen, but it's still possible. Also note the network branding NBA Live had back then.
