So Chris Andersen. They call him Birdman. Mother gave up custody of him when he was a kid. Father was an artist who left him to tour with his art. Spent part of his childhood in an orphanage. Played some junior college ball after high school, then left to go pro... in China. Then bounced around every development league known to man before he made the NBA. Then his girl left him, a hurricaine took out his house and the NBA suspended him for 2 years for being high (it's been said it was tweak but who knows). Served his time and just came back stronger. Birdman.
:There used to be an ESPN Birdman video here that's since been taken down. Oh well.:

Schweet. I love the look he gives the interviewer at the end. It's like: "you know more than enough about where I've been. Just look at me now. You really think that anyone or anything can stop me from being all that I can be now?" Hey, he looks like a baller to watch.
