Christopher Claus Andersen was born July 7, 1978 in Long Beach, California. Andersen is second of three children in his whole family. He grew up in lola, Texas and he played one year at Blinn College in Brenham. Andersen really wanted to follow his dream to play basketball. His varsity coach wanted him to play, so he can get a college scholarship. Andersen started off playing his professional career in the Chinese Basketball Association and the American minor league.
Andersen is 6 foot 10 inches and he weighs in at 245 pounds. You can guess that he is the center for the Miami Heat. Andersen has played for two other teams before going with the Miami Heat. I'm really glad that they signed Chris Andersen to the Heat. I have not started to like Chris Andersen until last year. I have watched him play on different teams but he was not really recognized until this year when he got playing time.
On January 20, 2013, Andersen signed a 10-day contract with the Miami Heat. After that 10-day contract was up, Andersen signed another 10-day contract on January 30, 2013, and then he signed the remainder of the season with the Heat. I don't really know what the signing is like and what you have to do to get on an NBA team. I do imagine that I will be hard for some players to get on an NBA team. Andersen only played forty-two games out of the eighty-two games in the whole season. He was averaging 5 points per game and he was shooting 60% from the field. Since signing Andersen the Miami Heat went on a 27 game winning streak. He has played most of the games in the winning streak.
At age 34, he reached his first NBA Finals against the San Antonio Spurs. Andersen recored three points, four fouls and three blocked in game seven of 2012-2013 NBA Finals. He was shooting 81% from the free throw line which was awesome for a big center. He finished the 2013 NBA playoffs with an NBA playoffs record for highest field goal percentage. I'm truly glad that I got to see and remember watching Andersen play in his first NBA Finals game. I love watching NBA games and especially if they are exciting games.
Andersen is known for all of his tattoos that are all around his body. The tattoos cover about 75% of his whole body, which to me I think is pretty bad. His first ever tattoo was given to him by his mom four his eighteenth birthday. His mom had some experience with using a tattoo maker, and some body work of her own too. Andersen still to this day shows off his tattoos and I'm not really a fan of that.

Anderson is gross! I only think that because all of his tattoos. He is a tough person, but I do not like him at all. With tattoos covering 75% of your body, that is super bad! If you want to be known, just play basketball.
