Before we even get to the robbery, one important thing should be pointed out. It isn’t our place to tell people what to do with their money, but if you are an NBA player on a short contract and might not have a long career in the league, you need to think about your purchases.
Derrick Williams signed a 2-year $8.8 million deal with Knicks and he has spent $750k in just jewelry, I wouldn’t call that a sound investment.
With that being said, no one deserves to be robbed of their property, but that is exactly what happened to him.
Knicks forward Derrick Williams was ROBBED OF $750,000 IN JEWELRY at his Tribeca apartment early Saturday — and he’s blaming two women he took home from a Meatpacking District club earlier in the evening.
The women pillaged a Louis Vuitton jewelry case holding a small fortune in basketballer bling, law-enforcement sources said.
Williams, 24, had been celebrating Friday night’s 107-97 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers with a group of friends at the Up & Down club.
Afterward, they headed back to Williams’ Broadway apartment — along with two women whom they had just met and who may have been using false names, the sources said.
After more partying at Williams’ bachelor pad, everyone went home.
But not before the two party girls found the Louis Vuitton case stuffed with three-quarters of a million dollars worth of jewelry in one of Williams’ closets.
The fast-fingered females grabbed the contents, and took off, the sources said.
Williams had no comment about the situation. Always be careful about who you let into your home no matter if you are a millionaire or dollarnaire. Also it is never safe to have $750k of anything in your house unless you have 24-7 security.
The police think it was a premeditated robbery because it has happened to a few rich guys over the last couple of months.
