If there’s one thing the Sanders family knows how to do, it’s making moments count. We all know nobody celebrates the moment better the Sanders. And Shelomi “Bossy” Sanders? Oh, she’s got that countdown vibe on lock, no doubt about it. With her big birthday just around the corner, she’s basically the Heisman of pre-party hype—heavy decorations, crazy gifts, and an electric vibe like it’s a game day in Boulder. Shelomi’s not just counting down; she’s setting the standard for celebrating in true Sanders style.

Recently on Nov 26th, Shelomi Sanders took it to the IG story with a swagger-esque selfie, flexing the peace sign, and with caption: “Birthday is literally tmr like omgg 🤭” And countdown of her B’day “21!!! 🥳😆 Countdown: 18 days.” Let’s just say, when your dad is Coach Prime, the hype-gene is in your blood already.

Off the court, Shelomi’s IG presence has been as sharp as her game. But on it? She’s a star that’s on the rise. The Alabama A&M Bulldogs guard had made waves, backed by none other than her pops, Deion Sanders. Coach Prime calls her the best dancer in the family. Deion Sanders didn’t miss a beat cheering her debut for Alabama A&M in early November. Guess What? Shelomi Sanders went off and put up stellar show on her debut: scored a career-high 14 points in just 10 mins on the court, in their dominating 96-50 victory over Oakwood. Those clutch-genes. She’s got that from her daddy. Pilar Sanders, Shelomi’s mom, couldn’t hold back her pride. She posted an on-court highlight reel of Shelomi’s game with a heartfelt caption, “Once you KNOW In / About Yourself and you Keep Pushing, everyone else’s Beliefs won’t matter.” a powerful reminder from her mumz, that Shelomi’s confidence is her greatest weapon.

Coach Prime’s birthday advice to Shelomi Sanders

Here’s where the Sanders humor shines. A couple of years ago, just before her 19th birthday, Shelomi approached her dad with a straightforward request: obviously, it was a gift and money. Deion, always ready with a quip, replied with a classic 101 dad joke: “I think $5.” Shelomi wasn’t gonna let him play her like that and she pushed for more. Deion Sander dropped a truth powerbomb instead of bands. “Baby, I think you’re too old for real gifts. There’s a certain age when big gifts stop.”

The lesson here? No idea. Deion mixed humor with wisdom. For a man worth $50 million, it wasn’t just about the money but teaching his kids to understand the values. Shelomi might have rolled her eyes with ‘ahh dad, not again!’ but you know those words stuck with her. Since then, Shelomi Sanders has come a long way. Now she’s an independent woman of her own. Shelomi now ain’t gotta rely on her dad for a few bucks. She’s got a nice NIL deal going on with Meta, Instagram, KFC, and Dexcom U.

As the birthday countdown ticks down like a time bomb, you can bet the Sanders family will celebrate Shelomi’s big day in Sanders’ style. Whether it’s with a corny dad joke or a heartfelt post-game hug, one thing I can assure you—Coach Prime’s love and pride are the gifts that keep on giving.
