Robert Swift has left his foreclosed-upon house, leaving a massive mess behind (VIDEO)


Two weeks ago we relayed a story out of Seattle concerning former SuperSonics center Robert Swift. Swift, out of professional basketball despite being in the same high school and NBA draft class as Dwight Howard, refused to leave his foreclosed-upon mansion, barricading himself in a home strewn with beer cans, tacky paraphernalia, and Chevrolet El Caminos with missing engines.

The best case scenario, considering the visible bullet holes and preponderance of beer empties, has come true. Swift has left the house, and it didn’t take some alcohol-inspired shootout to pull him out. The best case scenario is still pretty nasty, though. Watch, courtesy of KOMO:

This guy is a few bricks shy. Had a seat close to the bench years back when Swift wore a Thunder uniform. Doesn't surprise me that he shot his house up. Seems he had an assault rifle of some sort tattooed on one of his arms.

Swift is now king of the dipshits.

Reminded me of Byron Mullens, but a bit more athletic. I always thought he had some potential to have a shot a mediocrity, but he failed.

LOL at the new homeowners talking about wanting to help Swift. Help him do what? Move out? So what are the odds dude is dead now?

Still, nice haul for the owners with all those rifles and pistols.

That's what I was thinking, about both the guns and this red headed fuck being dead.

Ohh, tribal tattoos, how exotic and out-there!

"Swift even left behind a box of recruitment letters from several prominent colleges. The former 7-foot-1 high school center from Bakersfield, Calif., went straight from high school to the NBA and was drafted No. 12 overall in 2004 by Seattle."


Dalzell said there were dog feces, guns, empty bottles of alcohol and bottles of prescription drugs as well as damage all over the house.

The basement had been used as a shooting range and Jessica Ko said of the smell “the first thing you get when you walk in the door is the kind of whiff of whatever is festering in here.”

The couple has been cleaning the house for two weeks but expect it will take two more months before they will be able to move in.

Its estimated Swift earned $20 million during his basketball career.

the punk refused to leave his foreclosed home but is it really surprising if you know he was DH's classmate?

Unless theyre like Bonner or the typical nerdy white guy, honkeys are piece of shits tbh. Theyll either turn to pedophilia like Birdman or be like Swift tbh. Thats how I know honkeys (like m>s) who post on here are losers living with their moms and with their bullmastiffs as their best friends.
