Robert Christen Swift[1] (born December 3, 1985) is an American former professional basketball player who last played for Spanish club Círculo Gijón Baloncesto y Conocimiento of the LEB Plata league.

[3] Swift was awarded the starting job at center but he ruptured the anterior crucial ligament in his right knee after playing just over one minute in a preseason game vs the Sacramento Kings.

The resulting injury occurred when he twisted his right knee when he fell and went out of bounds awkwardly in front of the Seattle bench.

[7] Swift's final NBA game was played on April 13, 2009, in a 83–113 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers where he recorded 2 points, 3 rebounds and 2 blocks.

[3] On 12 February 2018, Swift returned to play basketball after agreeing a two-year contract with Spanish fifth tier club Círculo Gijón.

[9] In his second season in Spain, the club achieved a vacant place in the professional third-tier league, LEB Plata.

[11][12] Swift eventually left the home, which was reportedly riddled with animal feces, guns, bullets, beer bottles, and garbage.

Observers also noted old letters from some of the top college basketball programs in the country trying to recruit Swift, before he went straight to the NBA from high school.

[13] In October 2014, police raided the house of Trygve Bjorkstam, an alleged heroin and methamphetamine dealer, who had a collection of 18 guns.
