It's not every day that your favorite basketball player agrees to attend your birthday party, and usually the RSVP card doesn't include a checkbox to indicate you'll be 14 years late.

But that's sorta what happened this week in the case of 24-year-old Daniel Marks, a longtime Jason Kidd fan.

In an Instagram post this week, Marks revealed that, for his 10-year-old birthday party, he sent an invitation to Kidd, who "didn't make it then."

Kind of a bummer for the young Marks, we're guessing.

But his luck changed once he was old enough to enter the work force and got hired as a database manager by the Milwaukee Bucks, the team now coached by Kidd himself.

Once they became colleagues, it must have been a bit easier to get that party invitation delivered and accepted!

In case you can't make out the message on the cake, it reads:

"Daniel, after 14 years J Kidd can celebrate your birthday with you."

Parties are cool, but getting to spend some quality time with your boss/idol? Icing on the cake, dude.
