If you've ever wondered what Chris Andersen spends his offseason doing, well, here's your answer.
The Birdman is one of the most intriguing figures in sports, and a day in the life of a man with insane tattoos and a consistently enjoyable stream of quotes is something we can only hope he lets us in on from time to time.
Monday was such a time, with Andersen posting photos from a recent gator-hunting trip with Miami Heat teammate Udonis Haslem.
Haslem also posted photos, adding a little additional context in his caption:
Gator hunting with the bash bro @birdzilla.ro. I spent hours studying swamp people for this special day. Got my 1st kill now I'm ready. @birdzilla.ro now it's time for some hog hunting homeboy.#zillaGotmeonmyoutdoorish
Andersen and Haslem have been teammates for three years, and they're only now knocking gator hunting - and apparently hog hunting (homeboy) - off their tag-team bucket list. Maybe missing the playoffs for a change wasn't all bad.
To be thorough, we asked around, and here's a full list of people surprised by the fact that Andersen is interested in things like gator hunting or hog hunting (homeboy):
And now, we're left to hope that one day we'll get the honor of engaging in some Gonzo journalism with Birdman as the subject.
