You know who I do remember? Robert "Tattoo-Monster" Swift. I'll never forget him. Bob Hill coached Robert Swift for two seasons. According to an article in USA Today, Bob Hill...

TheAngryT.com, the Only Place that Betting on the LPGA Isn't Looked Down Upon
I have never been into sports gambling. Sure I do the NCAA Basketball pool with my buddies, and I have bet 5$ with a friend on whether or not Supersonic Center Robert Swift is the same guy that played Ferguson on the Nickelodeon show Clarissa Explains it All, but everyday gambling? Not for me. So when I discovered that The Angry T himself (on right) had bet some coin on the NBA regular...

Boston Celtics Danny Ainge Looking At Robert Swift: Ainge Needs To Learn To Stop This Infatuation
I will be the first to admit the Boston Celtics have a
serious need for help at the center position with a big body or two. However,
as Doc Rivers has made it clear there are not many seven footers in the world
and of the few even less can play basketball. I also understand that it is
Danny Ainge’s job to turn over every single stone. However, the Robert Swift
rumors need to stop...

Swift
The Seattle PI checks in with an update on former Sonic #1 pick Robert Swift, who has left his D-League team in Bakersfield to deal with a family matter in Seattle.It's unknown when Swift will return, and I'll thank you for not making any jokes about the situation in the comments. Seriously, if he's leaving the team for family matters, it's obviously not a great situation.

About 7 years ago, Danny Ainge seemingly had an obsession with high schooler Robert Swift. He was 7 feet tall with a skill set that made more than a few people think he could be something special.
Well, he wasn't. He never really panned out in the NBA, and even Danny passed on him after a summer league invite a couple of years ago. But that hasn't stopped the rumors...

Seatowning 12/30, Beltre is Declining?
