I think he is 52 today, maybe 51. I propose a toast to a man who has been with the Rockets for nearly 30 years, before they were even the Houston Rockets. If you Rudy-bashers can scram just for a second for this one, it would be greatly appreciated

Thanks for (1970-present)

The soft bank shots
The All-Star appearances
The defense. The speed. The dunks.
The jaws-wired-shut appearance at the Summit after getting out of the hospital in 1977
The return to form post-injury
The acceptance of being a bench player/retirement with dignity
Scouting
Drafting
Coaching Houston's first champioship team
Attracting quality players to the franchise
Being a class act in an industry of ass-biters

Granted I have bashed Rudy's coaching, but I gotta give props to the guy who brought Houston back to back championships. Happy Birthday Rudy.

If for nothing else, Rudy should be congratulated for not letting all the stress he puts himself under kill him for 51 years.
