Swift always looked to me in any picture as if he didn't even know where the hell he was. Same in that mugshot.
He did put us over the top, at least in NBA Live. I had a Sampson-Olujawon thing gong on with him and Yao. Why couldn't that be real life?

That summer, before the Rockets signed him, I argued hard against getting Swift because he was such a lazy loser who hadn't improved one bit after 5 years in the NBA. So many had drunk the Kool-Aid by saying he just needed a patient coach and that would solve his problems. Even McGrady made the dumb statement he could turn Stromile Swift into an All-Star. That might be stupidest thing that ever came out of McGrady's mouth.
