Just call him "Bad Luck Jay." Ex-NBA player and now permanent courtroom fixture Jayson Williams has had yet another run-in with misfortune. Williams' South Carolina estate was recently broken into and more than $150,000 worth of items were hauled away.
According to the sheriff's office, when the burglary occurred could not be pinpointed because Williams and his wife were away for two weeks. The ex-athlete reported missing such treasured possessions as a pair of personally autographed Tiger Woods shoes. Williams also noted that a pair of shorts signed by basketball legend Wilt Chamberlain were allegedly taken. A handwritten lyric sheet penned by rapper extraordinaire Tupac Shakur was also included among the inventory of stolen items.
The burglars are also said to have taken electronic equipment, such as four plasma televisions, a gold Rolex, diamond Breitling watches and a host of other sports memorabilia.
Wife Tanya Young Williams recently put the burglary on blast on her Facebook page. Tonya suspects that whomever burglarized their property had to know them because they live in a gated waterfront community.
The couple are offering a reward of $5,000 for the return of their stolen items.
"I want my memorabilia back, because they mean more to me than what they represent," says Tanya.The sheriff's office says that the investigation is active but are declining to state whether any suspects have been caught.
Only recently, Williams crashed his Mercedes SUV in New York City while allegedly driving drunk. He faces between 18 months and five years in prison during his sentencing next month.
