Rudy Gay, It's Your Birthday

The news cycle is not slow today, in fact it's stuffed with things to report. Why? Because today is Rudy Gay's birthday.

Everyone should know by now, even though I do hide my biases a little, that Rudy Gay is my absolute favorite player in the NBA, which means his birthday is worth celebrating with aforementioned facts over the jump.

Newsflash #1: Rudy Gay dunks a basketball through the hoop exceptionally well for a strapping lad of 24, especially when his talents are in South Beach.

Newsflash #2: Rudy Gay is totally cool and should be your favorite player too, unless your favorite player is Marc Gasol, in which case you are excused. Otherwise, we're paying him a hell of a lot of money for you not to over-appreciate his talents.

Newsflash #3: Clank! Boy don't you wish we still had Kyle Lowry? So do I, so does Rudy, let's get that boy a present right now and bring Kyle back.

And I suppose we can end it all with my personal favorite Rudy Gay mixtape that I could find in about 5 minutes of YouTube. Show me your favorites and leave Rudy a "Happy Birthday" in the comments.
