Armed Robbers Target Basketball Players In Chicago

It's officially time for Chicago-area pro-athletes to hire security details with their extra millions. Bulls player Eddie Curry, his wife, and an employee were tied up and robbed at gunpoint at his suburban mansion Saturday.

Curry's robbery is eerily similar to one that occured last month in Miami Heat player Antoine Walker's Chicago home, and police suspect that the same team of robbers are responsible for both crimes.

Armed bandits targeting NBA players? To them, that might be scarier than a groupie with a positive e.p.t. But probably not.

Nahhh, I bet the positive ept is still more terrifying than a gun to the head.

On a serious note, these b-ball guys are about to start hiring more people to protect them. It's sad that they will have to resort to this.

I thought you needed protection when you were outside of the home. Not inside with your wife and children. This shit is just downright scary though. Eddy Curry is 6 foot 11 and 285 pounds. How much duct tape does it take to restrain a man like that?
