Chris Andersen (aka Birdman) Ridiculous Catfish Story

[IrishLax]

How Chris Andersen got duped -- and cleared his name - NBA - Jon Wertheim - SI.com

Lots of layers. The Internet is a crazy thing. SI has full story, Deadspin grabs the highlights... not linking Deadspin because some people on here dislike them (for good reason) strongly.

What I don't clearly understand is, if the person who stole his identity arranged the "tryst" with the underage girl from Cali, why was Anderson not surprised or clueless when she showed up in Colorado? Or am I missing something?

 

[Whiskeyjack]

Did an anonymous source tell Deadspin that he's "80% sure" that Birdman is a pedophile?

I don't give a rat's ***. Perhaps I should say "a bird's pin tail."

 

[Irish Insanity]

Wasn't there whispers of this last year during the season. He had a court date or something to clear it up and refused to explain it (to the media) when he was presented with questions about an underage girl.

This kind of thing doesn't happen...

Andersen didn't let it distract him from winning a title.
