One of MSU's best ballhandlers, he was the primary point guard his junior season, but unfortunately became world famous for blattin' on the bench during a Duke blowout at the Breslin Center. After that, MSU fans distanced themselves from Anderson because he was pretty much a girl on the basketball court. Anderson as a college senior averaged 13.2 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 2.7 hissy fits per game. All-Big Team honors. He also helped lead the Spartans to the 2005 Final Four, but nobody really knows how in the hell he did it since he mostly choked during big games throughout his career. Perhaps the refs just felt bad for him and/or didn't particularly want to have to watch him cry again. Voted MVP by the team and media as a senior because nobody else even tried to step up that year. He earned his four-year degree from Michigan State University on May 7, 2005 in Community Family Services, and upon accepting his diploma, I'm sure he probably cried like a 9 year old girl at a Hanson concert. He ranks eighth in MSU history in career free-throw percentage at 81.3 (265-of-326), yet somehow always seemed to totally clank the ones that REALLY counted costing MSU countless meaningful victories over his tenure. Thank baby jesus he is gone, never to return, cept for the time I saw him on the sidelines of an MSU football game this year with a ChiSox hat on!!! WTF was that all about A-Hole?!?!?!?

On September 13, 2007, he signed a contract with Italian giants VidiVici Bologna^[3] which has left his biggest fan, Poster Ozymantitties from www.spartantailgate.com, completely heartbroken and distraught over Andersons most recent failure. is the 256th day of the year (257th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...
