Just because of the long rumored infatuation Ainge supposedly has with the injury prone Robert Swift, I thought I'd link to this

oh yeah, and here's what he looked like as a rookie

Wow, he looks like one of the emo kids who rail against the establishment because the establishment doesn't understand their suburban-teenage angst.

well after the Mcdonalds high school allstar game they asked him who his NBA role model was and he said it was Brian Scalabrine.  He was even going to go to USC b/c Scal went there had he gone to college.  Mustve been the red head connection.

Looks like idolizing a player like Scal has taken it's toll on ole Robby the past few years. lol.

Based on what? The 47 games he played in 2005/2006 on a garbage team? Raef Lafrentz...now there is a dude who could ball when healthy.
