The Miami Heat are in another transitional phase, as they have been since LeBron James departed South Beach in order to return home to Cleveland.

One of biggest fan favorites in Miami over the past several years has been Chris 'Birdman' Andersen.

Earlier this week Andersen was traded away from the Heat in a three-team deal.

During his time with Miami, Andersen helped the Heat to reach two consecutive NBA Finals (2013-2014), winning the championship in 2013.

Fans embraced the Birdman from the very beginning.

Here are some of the top moments from Andersen's time with the Heat.
