Jason Lieser of the Palm Beach Post has terrific conversations with Chris Andersen, and this season-ending one is special. Go read the whole thing, but here’s a taste of what talking to Birdman is like:
Birdman has 12 dollars in his pocket and strong feelings about therapy
Jeff Hanisch-USA TODAY Sports
How much do you have left at this point in your career?
“I’ve got about 12 dollars left in my pocket because of Chick-fil-A, but I can go to the ATM any time and withdraw a limit of $300.”Ok, but you played at 36 or 37 years old (36, actually) this year. How much do you have left?
“Man, you are terrible with numbers. I can withdraw from the ATM $300. I don’t know where you get 36, 37.”
I'm not interested in your emotional feelings.
"Good, because I don't talk about my feelings at all."Right. Save that for therapy.
"I don't do therapy. I'm gonna go talk to somebody?"I mean that another person would. Not you, obviously.
"I wouldn't. I would hire someone to go talk for me."
There’s also a long back-and-forth about trucks that pretty much devolves into Who’s On First? Very good.
