Chris “Birdman” Andersen: This is how much the iconic NBA player is worth today

Chris “Birdman” Andersen became a household name in the NBA because he played for so many years. Through his 16 years in the league, he played for five different teams. He was best known for his nickname, his many tattoos, and his trademark mohawk haircut.

Andersen retired from the NBA in 2017, and since then, the 43-year-old has kept himself out of the public eye.

Many kids want to be professional athletes when they grow up. Every sport has a long way to go before you reach your goal.

Even if you just play one game or compete in the Olympic games, you’ll need to work hard and be dedicated.

For some people, a sport can also be a way to get away from the start, and small coincidences can be the keys to success. It was Chris “Birdman” Andersen who had a bad start.

In the beginning, the Long Beach native had a rough start to life. His father left him and his mother without money or a bright future.

During his time in the NBA, Andersen went through a lot of hard times, including a two-year suspension. It was also during this time that Birdman also became a well-known athlete, not only because of his skills but also because of his unique looks.

Now, Andersen is done with basketball. 🙂 This is him today.

He has a lot of tattoos, but one of the most well-known is across the top of his neck. The words “Free Bird” can be seen in bright yellow lettering on the wall. Fox says that Andersen is a huge fan of the Lynyrd Skynyrd song with the same name.

Following his suspension back in the early 2000s, the song became one of his favourite songs. He also said that the song had “something to do with having just broken up with someone.”

According to SportsCasting, tattoos on the back of Andersen’s head show how he plays. Tattoos with the words “Give me War” and “Forever Nightmare” show how he’s going to play on the court.
