Roughly one year ago, Chris Andersen became a target of investigation for having been linked in an internet criminal case that sprouted countless rumors among basketball fans and that also made him a subject of jokes. The investigation during that time was believed to the reason why the Denver Nuggets waived him.
Since not much details were unveiled to the public, the general internet populace concocted various theories on what the actual charges really were. Since the ones handling the case was the Internet Crimes Against Children Unit of the Douglas County Sheriff's Office, you can probably understand why pedophilia was the hottest issue. From being nicknamed as Birdman, he pretty much got re-nicknamed as pedobear.
This places the fans of the topic of pedophilia is quite controversial by itself, making it awkward for fans who care about moral compass and such. The guy is fun to watch on the court, but the thought that the guy might have committed something hideous can be off-putting. I know about innocent until guilty and all that, but tell that to the nagging feeling.
Now, if you are a fan of Birdman, you can rejoice and feel free to cheer for him all you want. He was cleared of all charges and the investigations have led to an uncovering of a complicated hoax that duped the basketball player. The statement from his lawyer said that a Canadian woman impersonated Birdman and sought a relationship and gifts from his female acquaintance and vice versa. You can read the complete details here.
