Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers turned 39 yesterday. And despite the inconsistent season he is having, Rodgers didn’t want it to put a dent in his birthday celebrations. A-Rod spent his birthday cheering his Milwaukee Bucks on a night they faced the Los Angeles Lakers. And Rodgers was courtside for all the action.

Aaron Rodgers was present at Fiserv Forum to root for Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks. Rodgers is a part owner of the Bucks and was part of the stellar courtside presence alongside his Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb. Also present in the same row and company as Rodgers were Mallory Edens and father Wes Edens. Wes Edens is one of the primary owners of the Milwaukee Bucks organization.
