The Birdman, AKA, Chris Andersen got some praise in the game where the Denver Nuggets absolutely destroyed the Los Angeles Lakers on one of the skyline nights as the Nuggets donned their infamous city jerseys showcasing the rainbow skyline.
It was almost fitting as he was an integral part of the 2009 squad which lost to the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals.
Chris Andersen is one of the most underappreciated players in not just Denver Nuggets’ history, but in NBA history as well. Andersen was a defensive monster as he was ranked second one season in blocks per game.
