Robert Andrew Day (born January 31, 1982), is an American basketball player who plays for the Brazilian team Bauru, which plays in Novo Basquete Brasil, the major Brazilian basketball league.
Born in Portland, Oregon, Robert Day started to practice basketball at 10 years old. He went on to play for Benson Polytechnic High School and Western Oregon University.
His first professional team was the Algodoneros de la Comarca in Mexico where he stayed for two years. He stopped playing for a season and a half due to a lack of playing time and a lack of opportunities elsewhere. He returned to professional basketball again in Mexico in the second half of the 2007-08 season with Caballeros de Culiacan. The following season, he returned to Algodoneros de la Comarca.
In the 2009-10 season he signed with Lobos Grises de la UAD Durango in the hopes of gaining visibility outside of Mexico. After the season, his agent initially arranged for him to participate in a tournament in China with an Argentine team, but after further negotiations he signed with Brazilian team Unitri/Uberlândia for 2010–11 NBB season.
In his first season in Brazil, Day gained visibility and became known for being extremely dangerous from the three-point line. His great performances earned him a spot in the NBB All-Star Game, held in Franca, where he played for the team composed of foreign players, called NBB Mundo (NBB World), against a team composed entirely of Brazilian players. Day started the game on the bench, but when he entered the court, the story began to be written. With a rare performance in the three-point line, Day became unbelievable 12 three-pointers and scored incredible 50 points. NBB World won the match 115–99 and Day was just named the MVP of the game. During the season, Robert Day, assisted by Robby Collum and Valtinho, led the team to the quarterfinals of the championship, being eliminated by Brasília of Alex Garcia, Guilherme Giovannoni and Nezinho dos Santos.
