Miami Heat sign Chris Andersen to 10-day contract - Yahoo! Sports
MIAMI (AP) -- Chris Andersen wore a stars-and-stripes headband Sunday morning, showed off the colorful array of tattoos that stretch from his neck to his ankles and virtually all spots in between, and spoke about himself in the third person.
He's got 10 days to make an impression on the Miami Heat.
Seems like he's already off to a good start.
The veteran forward-center signed a 10-day deal with the Heat on Sunday and worked out with his new club for the first time. For a team that's looking for rebounding help, Andersen - who hasn't appeared in an NBA game since playing with Denver last March - is hoping that he will be the answer.
''This opportunity and being with the defending champs, it's a dream come true,'' Andersen said. ''They're taking a chance with me and I'm here to give them everything I've got, defensively, diving on the floor, blocking shots, you know, the usual that a Birdman does and what Birdman brings.''
