Written by DJ Special Blend from Chicago on January 31, 2010
Former NBA star Jayson Williams was reportedly robbed for sport souvenirs and merchandise that totals over $150,000. Items include autographed items from the likes of Tiger Woods and irreplaceable items from Tupac Shakur and Wilt Chamberlain.
Jayson Williams is allegedly the victim of a crime — for a change — after a report says his home was broken into and a slew of sports memorabilia, electronics and jewelry were stolen. Among the items allegedly stolen from Williams’ South Carolina home, were were a pair of Tiger Woods’ shoes autographed by Woods himself, shorts signed by basketball legend Wilt Chamberlain, and a handwritten lyric sheet by rapper Tupac Shakur.

The exact day of the incident is not clear, but it was made public by Williams’ wife through Facebook.
“Unfortunately, this just another episode within my surreal reality, but I’m a fighter.” Tanya Young-Williams went public with the theft on her Facebook page, though it’s unclear when in the last two weeks the heist occurred. The burglar also scored four plasma-screen TVs and jewelry, including a diamond Breitling watch and a gold Rolex. “I want my memorabilia back because they mean more to me than what they represent,” the ex-Net’s wife, Tanya Young-Williams, told The Post.
