Stephen Curry turned 29 yesterday and both his wife and teammates took to social media to honor the basketball star. Alongside a photo of the two of them, Ayesha Curry wrote her man a rap saying “You’re literally like fine wine. Just getting better with time. Now you’re 29. Still all mine.”

  Mood after that win!!! Great one fellas! It’s not always pretty, still have to get it done!! Happy birthday @stephencurry30 hope it was great brother #dubnation #morelife   A post shared by Draymond Green (@money23green) on Mar 14, 2017 at 11:02pm PDT

Draymond Green shared an image of a young Curry’s school photo. The image was payback of sorts: on Green’s birthday Curry posted a teenage picture of Draymond complete with braces.

Under Armour Basketball made a special pair of tennis shoes for Curry to wear in the Warriors game against Philadelphia 76ers, Nice Kicks reported. The yellow and blue sneakers look like yellow cake with white frosting dripping down the side.

Blessed to see another year. So many things to be thankful for! Keep growing, keep pushing, living life….Appreciate everyone who reached out today. #29 #morelife

Curry himself shared a picture of his birthday cake. Rumor has it, the basketball star wanted to go to Benihana and enjoy a meal with his family.
