Dan T. Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Yikes. Police looking for link in robberies of two NBA players By DON BABWIN, Associated Press Writer July 30, 2007 CHICAGO (AP) -- Two hulking NBA stars were bound with duct tape and robbed of cash and jewelry by masked gunmen in separate holdups that have Chicago-area detectives wondering whether someone is targeting professional athletes. New York Knicks forward Eddy Curry -- 6-foot-11, 285 pounds -- was tied up along with his wife and an employee at his mansion in suburban Burr Ridge on Saturday. Miami Heat forward Antoine Walker, who is 6-foot-9, 245 pounds, was similarly robbed along with a relative at his $4 million townhouse in Chicago's exclusive River North section on July 10.

I wouldn't be shocked to find out both security systems were set up by the same people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey man, I'm just speculating in the most outlandish, Hollywood way here. You gotta admit, this is one weird, movie-type story. Personally, I think the more cool conjecture we add to it the better.

DeanCollins Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 it is rather hilarious considering the size of the "victims", wealth, proximity, timing etc.....embarrassing too, I'd bet both of them wish the press hadn't got a hold of it. It'll give a whole new meaning to "he was robbed" during a ball game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeanCollins Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 how is this hilarious??? you don't find it at least a little amusing that an overpaid 6'-11" 285lb. man was duct taped and robbed up in his "crib"? I'll bet some of his opponents do. I can hear 'em now "i'm bringing the duct tape tonight biaaaatch!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll bet some of his opponents do. I can hear 'em now "i'm bring the duct tape tonight biaaaatch!" Sorry Dean, but really, I don't. I can't imagine the terror not knowing if they're going to shoot you to death, and the sense of violation that you're not safe in your own home. I see nothing amusing about it at all. They're big, they're overpaid, but they're human. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwbiggs Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 They're big, they're overpaid, but they're human. And how ironic it would be if these two are into the thug lifestyle and got owned by there own. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
