Another former Miami Heat basketball player has listed a house for sale in the exclusive Pinecrest suburb of Miami.
Former Miami Heat center Chris “Birdman” Andersen listed his 7,629-square-foot residence at 5826 Southwest 107 Street in Pinecrest with a reduced asking price of $3.94 million.

Andersen initially listed the home for sale for $4.55 million on April 7 before reducing his asking price. He bought the Pinecrest property in 2013 for $1.89 million, according to property records.
Two other former Heat players, Lamar Odom and Anfernee “Penny” Hardaway, also have put their Pinecrest properties on the market.
Andersen, well known for his tattoos and Mohawk haircut, played for the Miami Heat from 2012 to 2016. The Heat traded him to another National Basketball Association (NBA) team, the Memphis Grizzlies, in February of last year.
His Pinecrest residence has five bedrooms, five bathrooms and a half bathroom. The property’s features include marble flooring, 10-foot ceilings, a temperature-controlled wine cabinet, fireplace, swimming pool and gazebo, plus a court for playing basketball and tennis.
The broker with the listing, Asheley M. Velez, told the Sun-Sentinel that Andersen completely remodeled the residence. The property comes with a two-car garage, but its circular driveway is large enough for 10 parked cars, said Velez, president and founder of P.U.R.E. Investments in Coral Gables.
Odom, a reality TV star and ex-husband of Khloé Kardashian, has listed his Pinecrest home at 9401 Southwest 63rd Court for sale, according to published reports. Odom played for the Miami Heat during the 2003-2004 season. Odom retired from the NBA as a forward for the Los Angeles Lakers.
Hardaway listed his Pinecrest home at 5940 Southwest 108 Street for $3.8 million earlier this month. Hardaway finished his career in the NBA during the 2007-2008 season as a guard for the Miami Heat.
