Andersen agreed to sign a one-year contract with the Nuggets on July 24, 2008.

He has the nickname of "Birdman," which fans attribute to his high-flying game and certain tattoos. His trademark has been his "Birdman" celebration, wherein he would cross his arms and flap his hands like the wings of a bird after scoring on an emphatic dunk or blocking a shot. Andersen has a large number of tattoos, mainly on his arms.
