The latest Chris Andersen tattoo

So THIS is how you rehab a surgically repaired knee. You get a neck tattoo. Good for you Chris. Lol!

His hair looks great, his shades are awesome, but uh...I'm anti-neck tats. I wonder if J.R. Smith had something to do with this.

 

 

Chris Andersen is operating at 95 percent tattoo capacity

It's fun to see how different players spent their summer vacations. Some spend them playing for the U.S. National Team, others just work out. Sometimes players get married or travel, but Chris Andersen has another hobby that he enjoys during the NBA break — getting tattoos. Check his neck, the picture on the left is from before last season, and the one on the right is from Sunday.

 

As far as I can tell, that's a "Free" on one side and a "Bird" on the other. Clearly he's a big Lynyrd Skynyrd fan. That's too bad.

Judging from the rest of his body, I'd say this little neck piece is just getting started. I mean, every other tattoo is in full-color, I'd imagine this one will be eventually. And really, you can't blame him for wanting to split up several million needle-sticks to the neck into a couple different sessions. That's just good planning.

However, I'm a little bit worried about the Birdman. No, not because he's going to have a neck tattoo for the rest of his life. I'm worried about him wanting more tattoos. He's almost out of room, and if DeShawn Stevenson has taught us anything, it's that face tattoos are horrible.

Does long hair get in the way of playing basketball?

For normal people it sometimes does, but I always supposed that some of the longer-haired NBA players were just too good for it to annoy them

Summed it up perfectly. Great song

Its cool to get tats about something you connect to. But not the neck

by Nz Nuggets on Jun 22, 2010 12:31 AM MDT up reply actions  

Maybe the photo got stretched

But the new tattoo seems to make his neck look a lot longer, like a giraffe.

It actually looks like he lost some weight...

considering he spent all of last summer bulking up (which helped slow him down)… since he just had surgery, I wouldn’t be surprised if he loses some weight from not lifting that much anymore… then again, he might work out more and become bigger yet slower

we don’t need Bird to be huge, we need his athleticism and speed… he’ll never be a low block defender like Foster and that’s okay

by hvino on Jun 23, 2010 10:08 AM MDT up reply actions  

Didn't think about that

I hope that’s true. We need quick, high-flying Bird back. Less weight on chronically bad knees will benefit him from an ongoing health perspective, too.

God, I hope he doesn't get any tats on his face

Chris Andersen could be in a porno with his 'stache. Too bad he still wouldn't know how to box out.

man, that song sucks

why would anybody get something like “free bird” tatted on their neck? he’s going to regret doing that.

by lakerlover2by4 on Jun 22, 2010 5:01 PM MDT reply actions  

I don't think Bird

thinks about tattoos. Have you seen him? I doubt he has regrets on any of them.

by higgyhoops12 on Jun 22, 2010 6:00 PM MDT up reply actions  

tattos are very addictive

i guess this vice would be better then others he has had.

damn that looks weird...

btw, I wonder if he’s mad at Melo for taking his # lol

by hvino on Jun 23, 2010 10:09 AM MDT up reply actions  

Melo's # was 15 in college

Bird was probably the nice guy and gave it up.

STIFF LIST (as of 2/7 by Andrew Feinstein)

1. THE NUGGETS AT HOME
How is it possible that a Nuggets team with this much talent can be 7-5 at home?! Things have gotten so bad that fans are clamoring for J.R. Smith to return.

2. CARMELO ANTHONY
Kobe Bryant plays through any and all ailments. Melo uses any and ailments as an excuse not to play.

3. KEVIN LOVE
Just when the T'Wolves are looking better, Love stomps on Luis Scola and lands himself a two-game suspension.

4. CHARLOTTE BOBCATS
The 'Cats have lost 11 straight and are now 3-21 ... in the Eastern Conference! This is what happens when you let an underwear salesman with a Hitler mustache run your team.

5. MIKE BROWN
Dr. Bunsen Honeydew (Google it!) got himself a one-game suspension for making contact with a referee.
