First, Miami Heat forward Antoine Walker gets robbed at gunpoint outside of his Chicago home, and now, just 2 1/2 weeks later, new York Knicks big man Eddy Curry was the victim of a similar incident at his Chicago home.

$10,000 and jewelry was stolen from Curry, while Walker had cash, jewelry, and a car stolen. Both were bound at gunpoint; Curry supposedly was bound with duct tape.

That's pretty freaky. Sounds like some people have it out for NBA players with Chicago roots but don't play for the Bulls. Think the incidents were related? My guess is that they were. It's not so crazy. You want to rob someone to get rich quick? Rob an NBA player. Both live in the suburbs of Chicago, and now play for rival Eastern Conference teams. Perhaps a crazy Bulls fan, or perhaps I'm completely wrong.

Interesting thought though, and makes me wanna stay away from Chicago if I were an NBA player. Or perhaps it'd make me wanna stay in Chicago if I was a Bull. That is, if I could play well, and I didn't piss off the crazy fans.
