"Happy 44th birthday to the tallest and most talented big man in the game, Yao Ming! September 12th is truly a special day because it marks the day you graced this world with your larger-than-life presence. While most people celebrate their birthdays with cake and presents, you probably need to use a ladder just to blow out the candles. But hey, being 7'6'' definitely has its perks. Wishing you a day filled with joy, laughter, and maybe a few slam dunks here and there. Keep towering over us with your awesomeness, birthday boy!"
