As a fledgling Knicks' fan, I hardly consider myself a current NBA savant, nor do I have much interest at all in professional basketball. However, the story of Chris Andersen's reinstatement to the NBA after being kicked out of the league for violating the league's drug policy caught my eye today. As I read and did a little research on Andersen I learned several interesting facts that irked me about this white hype, mostly leading me to the conclusion that he is an absolute creep.
For starters, check out Andersen's current look...
Tats aside, when I saw the above photo I immediately did a double take to make sure I hadn't misread the headline and that it wasn't in fact everyone's favorite goofy white NBA powerhouse forward Chris Kaman...
Although I don't agree with Andersen's current scene, he does pull off the Bill Walton very nicely...
However, unlike Walton, I doubt that Andersen is very familiar with a nice China Cat > Rider jam. As I read on, the article noted that Andersen goes by the beloved nickname "The Birdman" due to his above the rim acrobatics and lenky body...
I guess this seems pretty "rad" to Andersen, who embraces the nickname. But do you really want to be sharing nickname-sake with this guy...
Former WWF "superstar," the Birdman Koko B. Ware.

Former WWF "superstar," the Birdman Koko B. Ware.The Birdman truly made a name for himself playing for Denver where he participated in the 2005 NBA Slam Dunk Contest in which he proceeded to set a Dunk Contest record by dubiously missing his first EIGHT dunk attempts in the contest, proving that Wesley Snipes was right...
If we did get one thing out of this Dunk Contest appearance it is in fact some more insight on why they call him the Birdman. Take a closer look at his head and tell me that doesn't resemble another famous bird...
To top it all off, in all his creepdom, The Birdman is also known to celebrate post-dunk with his famous bird-like hand celebration...

Which is about as legit a victory prance as this...
And to think we were shocked when we found out he was all drugged up...
