Sounds almost identical to what happened with Antoine Walker. That's too bad, but glad he's not hurt.

Sun Jul 29, 2007 10:31 am

Very similar to Walker's case here.

It's a bad time to be an NBA player born in Illinois and living in Chicago.

Sun Jul 29, 2007 2:19 pm

Yeah, both of them got robbed in Chicago. So Denver is the getting shot city for athletes, while Chicago is getting robbed city for athletes.

ironic this kind of news is rather funny, not scary
it's a good thing he didn't get shot
it could have been career ending, or at worst life ending so he should be happy that he just got robbed not got killed

so whos next?

Actually Toine was in Chicago, but Eddy Curry was in Burr Ridge. Which is creepy, because I was in Burr Ridge when this happened, and I was 3 blocks away from where Toine got robbed when that happened too.

So I have concluded that it must be me.

We should bet vegas odds on which two nba players they will rob next month.
Donaghy has 5:1 odds on Stephon Marbury.

Seems that the robberies of Curry and Walker were related:

http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=a ... &type=lgns

Four men charged in the armed robbery of Miami Heat forward Antoine Walker during a home invasion remained jailed Saturday without bond.

A judge denied bond for 28-year-old Antoine Larkins and 25-year-old Demorris Hill. Attorneys for the two other men charged -- Phillip Allison, 28, and 23-year-old Gregory Reedfields -- waived their clients' right to a hearing.

Hill and Larkins are also suspects in a similar robbery of New York Knicks forward Eddy Curry, who was tied up and robbed in his suburban Chicago home last month. That robbery occurred just a few weeks after Walker was robbed at his Chicago town house.

In the Walker case, all four men are charged with home invasion, armed robbery and aggravated kidnapping, according to the Cook County state's attorney's office.

Sam Adams, an attorney representing Reedfields, said his client is innocent and "police did not get the right guy." The names of attorneys representing the other suspects were not immediately available.

A Burr Ridge police spokesman, Luke Vulpo, said Saturday that Hill and Larkins have been formally charged with armed robbery, aggravated kidnapping and home invasion in Curry's case. They were scheduled to appear in bond court Monday on those charges, he said.

The robbery at Walker's house happened July 9 when Walker was home with a relative. Multiple masked robbers bound the two with duct tape and held them at gunpoint. They made off with Walker's Mercedes, cash and jewelry.

Less than three weeks later, Curry, his wife and an employee also were tied up and robbed by masked gunmen at Curry's home in Burr Ridge.

Police officers and detectives used cell phone records, fingerprints and surveillance camera video to gather evidence in the case, according to authorities.

Police said they found nothing to indicate other athletes had been targeted.

I guess only with a gun...cause there is no way that people could get someone as freakin big as Eddy Curry bound up unless he helpled...Guns are for defense...people who do wrong shit with guns are pussies, if you really wanna be a hard ass take someone on with nothing, or a knife or something...

Anyways, as for the odds of non-defensive player getting robbed...

How about Antawn Jamison, or Shareef??
