Former NBA baller and culture influencer Chris Andersen was the No. 4 pick of the first round by Power. Birdman had a short but colorful and wildly popular reign as a fan favorite NBA player. He was more famous for his extensive array of tattoos and gets credited with helping to drive and legitimize the NBAs obsession with tattoo culture and eased the plight of league restrictions on body art.
Energy is his staple and his 6-10 frame will add solid defensive length to his team. Birdman worked his way from being a drafted player out of Blinn College to the Sugarland Sharks to the NBA where he played for more than a decade as a spirited journeyman.
