It’s been a while since we’ve heard from everyone’s favorite Latvian NBA star. Forget Kristaps Porzingis. We’re talking about Andris Biedrins. The man who played nine seasons for the Warriors before being traded to clear cap space for Andre Iguodala, left the NBA in 2014 and hasn’t been heard from much since.
He doesn’t appear to have verified social media accounts, so it’s been tough for Warriors fans to keep tabs on the tall lefty. Pictures of Biedrins at a dunk contest in Riga, Latvia made the rounds on Twitter on Wednesday, though, and it looks like Beans is doing well. Quite well, in fact. Check out the inked up Biedrins being escorted out to the court below.

The man made more than $60 million in his NBA career thanks to a six year, $54 million deal he signed ahead of his age 22 season back in 2008. It stands to reason he can retire quite comfortably in his native country, though he did go through a tax evasion case in Latvia in 2012.
