NBA Player Robbed in Chicago Home

What a scary moment for Miami Heat player Antoine Walker Monday night. According to Walker’s agent, the Chicago native was robbed at gunpoint in his Chicago home. No one was injured but thieves took a vehicle, cash and jewelry. It was the second time the NBA star was robbed. In July 2000 when he played for the Boston Celtics, Walker was among five victims robbed at gunpoint of cash and his $55,000 wristwatch outside a restaurant in the South Loop. Walker, who grew up on the South Side, lives in Chicago in the off season.

Makes you wonder if athletes are bigger targets for robbery than the regular Joes on the street.
