It's been two months since reigning NBA MVP Stephen Curry's Under Armour shoes, the Curry 2 "Chef," were unveiled, and people still aren't done roasting them.

Houston Texans punter Shane Lechler turned 40 years old Sunday.

In celebration of the occasion, head coach Bill O'Brien, nose tackle Vince Wilfork, linebacker Brian Cushing, and cornerback Jonathan Joseph called him to the front of the team auditorium, presented him with a cake shaped like the number 40, and gave him a walker, some Rogaine, and a pair of Curry's shoes, according to Peter King of The MMQB.

Lechler is the oldest player on the Texans' roster by five years, but he's still very much a kid at heart.

"I'm not in any mood to start growing up," he told King.
