You think some teams will discriminate against him because of his tattoos?  Will he get another job in the NBA once his contract is up? 

Well, I think he'll be 35 when his current contract is up, and I think a big part (only part) of his game is using his athleticism and energy to grab boards and block shots.  Plus, despite being a bench player and having a 2 year absence from the game, I think he's abused his body more than most.  I don't know how much of a player he'll be after his current deal expires, tattoos or no tattoos.

But if he was a free agent now (and healthy), I would think a lot of teams would want to sign him (as long as they don't believe there are any off court issues).  He's definitely a fan favorite, and kids just eat up his act, he's like a mascot that plays for the team.  A lot of teams like a hustle guy that the crowd loves.  He probably puts more butts in the seats than any 20mpg bench player out there.


After 18 months with their Bigs, the Littles were: 46% less likely to use illegal drugs, 27% less likely to use alcohol, 52% less likely to skip school, 37% less likely to skip a class

I don't think you're giving him enough of a chance as a human being. Some people just view tattoos as a way of expressing himself. Who's really to say what's "right?"

ehh, i know what you mean, but Chris Anderson's past only reinforces the stereotype most people are putting him under
