IFWT Chris Andersen

Birdman was a key player for the Denver Nuggets for many seasons before joining the Miami Heat. His teammates have dubbed him with the name “2 checks” hit the jump to find out why.

Via Fansided:

While Andersen’s contract with the Miami Heat isn’t all that lucrative, the buyout Birdman received from the Denver Nuggets is. In fact, he’s making nearly $9 million dollars this season from the Nuggets despite not playing for the franchise.

That has lead to some of Chris Andersen’s Miami Heat teammates referring to him as ‘2 Checks’, a play off the name of rapper ‘2 Chainz’.here are a lot of rather questionable nicknames throughout the NBA though this one is actually pretty amusing. Of course, everybody knows Chris Andersen as ‘Birdman’ so the chance of ‘2 Checks’ sticking is slim to none, but that doesn’t make it any less funny.
