This Guy Played in the NBA…

And I didn’t.

For the second installment of this wildly entertaining game, I present to you a man, who by all measures, belongs as far away from a professional basketball court as Ross Mathews does from a woman of any shape or size.

This man didn’t even attend college, so he was apparently supposed to be good enough to play in the Association strait outta high school. Which by the way has earned him the distinction of being the only Caucasian player to enter the NBA strait outta 12th grade. He was drafted by the Seattle Supersonics (maybe this is why they lost their team to OKC) 12th (!!!) overall in the 2004 NBA draft.

Prior to this year he had played in 71 career games, averaging 4.6ppg and 4.0rpg. And as the probable main reason the OKC Thunder started 3-29, he has played in 16 games, starting 10 of them for the Thunder. The man started the first four games of 2009, and then came this news from last week: “…said he got sick after eating dessert Sunday in New York.”

Leave it to the feeble Robert Swift to get sick off of dessert. That’s right, Robert Swift plays in the NBA, and I don’t.

THIS WAS THE MAN’S ACTUAL TRADING CARD FOR CRYIN’ OUT LOUD!!!
