Chris Andersen re-signing with Heat

<snip>

"Chris Andersen – the famous Birdman – has agreed to a one-year contract to return to the two-time defending NBA champion Miami Heat, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.

Andersen was the top free-agent priority for Heat president Pat Riley and coach Erik Spoelstra.

Andersen played a telltale part in the Heat's championship run, signing in January and immediately impacting the Heat during a 27-game winning streak that turned into a prelude to another NBA title. The Heat were 37-3 in the regular season with him.

Andersen, 34, was spectacular in the Heat's Eastern Conference finals series against the Indiana Pacers, making 15 consecutive shots.

In less than 15 minutes a game, Andersen averaged nearly five points and four rebounds for the Heat. He also gave Miami a formidable and physical presence around the basket."
