Real Life Kenny F@#king Powers


Ah, the year was 2004, and a young man just concluded his high school basketball career ranked in USA Today's top 25 recruits.  He bypassed a commitment to play college ball for the USC Trojans, and opted to take his talents directly to the NBA.

Fast forward to 2013. Look past a ruptured ACL and failed stints in Seattle/OKC, the D-League, and Japan, and you'll find a man that just wants to enjoy an expired 4 Loko in the comfort of his own El Camino in front of his foreclosed home, which he refuses to relinquish to its new owner.  

No folks, this is not a pitch for the basketball version of Kenny Powers from Eastbound & Down (to any TV execs out there reading, it could be and remember where you heard it first), but the real life saga of former NBA player Robert Swift.

Read the Deadspin article and watch this video from KOMO showing how my man turned a million dollar mansion into a dirty frat house.
