Happy 11th Birthday to my best buddy, my greatest blessing, my son, Braxton. ❤️🎉

It’s hard to believe you’re already 11. It feels like just yesterday I was holding you in my arms, and now I’m watching you grow into an incredible young man with your own dreams, personality, and path in life.

More than anything, I’m thankful that God chose me to be your father. Watching you grow has been one of the greatest joys of my life, and I couldn’t be more proud of the kind, smart, strong, and caring young man you’re becoming. Every year you continue to amaze me, and I know this is only the beginning of all the incredible things you’ll accomplish.

My prayer is that this year brings you happiness, confidence, unforgettable memories, and every opportunity to chase your dreams. I’ll always be your biggest fan, your biggest supporter, and I’ll be right beside you every step of the way.

I love you more than words could ever express. Happy 11th Birthday, Braxton. Keep being you, keep dreaming big, and never stop believing in yourself. The world is waiting for everything you’re going to do. 💙🎂🎈 by @j_maze

Winning the G League Winter Showcase is a credit to the people in our locker room every day. Our coaching staff put in countless hours preparing, adjusting, and supporting our players, and the players rewarded that work by competing, trusting the process, and playing for one another. #wintershowcase #stars #nbagleague #saltlakecity by @j_maze

Happy 9th Birthday to my wonderful son, Braxton! 🌟

It's hard to believe that nine years have flown by so quickly. From the moment you came into this world, you’ve been a source of pure joy and pride. Watching you grow has been the most amazing journey, filled with countless memories and endless love.

You have a heart of gold, always showing kindness and empathy to those around you. Your curiosity and enthusiasm for life are truly inspiring, and your laughter is the sweetest sound I know. Each day with you is a gift, and I'm constantly amazed by your creativity, intelligence, and the unique person you are becoming.

As you turn nine, I want you to know how incredibly proud I am of you. You tackle every challenge with determination and a smile, and you bring so much light to everyone who knows you. It's been a privilege to watch you grow up, and I’m excited for all the adventures and milestones ahead.

Braxton, you mean the world to me. Thank you for being such an amazing kid and for filling my life with joy. May this year bring you as much happiness and wonder as you have brought to me.

I love you to the moon and back, always and forever. Happy Birthday, my precious boy! 🎂🎉❤️ by @j_maze

It was such an amazing experience to have my son here with me in Utah, getting to see what my job entails. It’s even more amazing to watch my son grow to love the game that has been such a huge part of my own life. 🏀 by @j_maze
