The Ten Worst Tattoos In The NBA
1. Nicknamed the “Birdman” because of his wing-flapping celebrations, Chris Anderson of the Denver Nuggets barely has a spot of clean skin that isn’t covered with brightly colorful tattoos. Getting knocked out of the playoffs by the Los Angeles Lakers last Saturday is the least of Anderson’s worries, however – he is currently under investigation for undisclosed Internet crimes against children.
