Miami Heat forward Antoine Walker was held at gunpoint and robbed in his Chicago home last night. He was unharmed, but probably won't be happy enough to do this for awhile.
Police and witnesses said two offenders held Walker and at least one other person at gunpoint during the robbery, Chicago broadcasters reported from the scene in the city's River North neighborhood Monday night…
This has got to be a trying time for him. It must have been painful to not be able to go crying to a referee afterward.
In July 2000, Walker — then a Boston Celtic — was the victim of an armed robbery along with NBA center Nazr Mohammed as they sat in a vehicle waiting for a restaurant on Chicago's South Side to open. Police said at the time that three men approached and demanded cash and valuables, which included a $55,000 wristwatch.
Wow. Twice? Is this some kind of karmic punishment for spending his entire career never fulfilling his potential and team-hopping in search of getting a championship ring? Well, that's a ridiculous notion and cruel to even suggest. But yes. Yes, it totally is.

i wonder of his $55,000 wrist watch told better time than my $20 timex ?
He never would have been robbed if he was spending time with Sheriff Shaq.
I know what you're all thinking, and no… Tank Johnson was nowhere near this guy at the time of the robbery.
Police are said to be on the lookout for a tall, white Mormon general manager.
Cincinatti say that Chris Henry is a person of interest in this case.
Dammit that's supposed to say Cincinatti PD.
Blame it on a Bengal!
Judging from the watch in the photo, Walker has upgraded since that 2000 incident. That piece is clearly a Rolex "Pimp Master," hand-crafted with only the finest bling plucked from gunned-down rappers.
Damn twice? Toine is hoisting up iced out watches like he does lame duck 3 balls…
Police also mentioned that many shots had been fired, but they were crazy shots that had no chance of hitting their target.
his posse must have been busy geeting 'toine a cheeseburger
When oh when will professional athletes learn to carry guns with them at ALL times?
Were there any AFL2 games in Chicago last night?
They can have his bling when they pry it from his cold, doughy hands.
What restaurant on the South Side of Chicago – wouldn't open up for two (black) NBA players, one of whom has a $55,000 watch……
Answer: The Whitest restaurant on the south side……
Southside Chicago represent. What!?
Somebody give that robber a Tommy point.
It's his own fault. Antoine was so busy celebrating the fact that he opened his front door that he didn't notice the robbers sneaking in behind him.
it's too bad he won't be healthy enough to rip some MJ's Thriller dance moves on the court for a while, someone let me know when he's back to 100 %

Just because a Strip Club serves food, don't make it a restaurant.
Walker was armed at the time but didnt take a shot at the robbers until they were well out of his range
REAL MATURE, guys. Let's see how you would feel if it happened to you and some jackass(see : 100% of all posters here) made light of it. You wouldn't be in much of a joking mood, would ya?
Didn't think so.
Was Biggie banging his girlfriend when he arrived home to get robbed? His game musta been rained out or somethin…
by the way, I found this *disclaimer* pretty amusing :
"With Leather is a blog about all the assholes and idiots in the world of sports, and the hot chicks who date them. People who get offended or take too much pride in their favorite team should probably just leave now, because I hate you already."
Well this guy should be talking about himself since he mentioned the "asshole" part.
I don't think Josh's brother likes us.
*sobs*
will somebody please remove brady quinn's cock from "joshs brother's" ass
Who the hell is Josh and why is his semi-retarded brother allowed to play with the computer? Someone get him a crash helmet and a puppet before he eats the key board.
Antoine must have forgotten that he could've fended off the robbers by chucking an endless array of bricks at them.
Josh's brother fucks beguls.
Enrico! Pallazzo! Enrico! Pallazzo!
No! Giving retards puppies always ends with crying and a shallow grave.
Sorta like how every date with Josh's brother ends.
And what kinda guy lives in his brother's shadow like that? It's not like he's Robert Christ or Fred Clause.
I thought it was cool that joshs brother (his spelling) was ignored for over an hour, but now that the alarm has been raised…
I find his blatant disregard of the noble apostrophe both aloof and condescending. I, for one, am not impressed. There, that'll learn him.
I have only recently discovered the wonder that is withleather and would like to thank the lord (Dwyane Wade) for shining this light on me. Your sarcastic and witty harassment of 'Toine makes me happier than apple pie.
P.S. Joshs brother is a boykisser
joshs brother is, to use the terminology of these here interweb message boards, "a troll"–Or someone who writes messages on boards for the simple intention of getting under people's skins. Pay him no mind.
I hope someone puts a gun to every single one of your heads and we will see how well that goes over. I however have more class then all of you because I won't go with having it happen to your children and girlfriends or mothers.
Celtics fans are pathetic fucktards with no lives. They like sucking and that is exactly what they will be doing for the next 50 years.
Really you all need help.
Is CelticsSuck actually our friend Josh? Man, that family sucks.
I think those two have an RSS feed that lights up a giant signal in their bedroom, letting them know that there is a wrong to be righted and a jab that must be avenged flowing through these tubes that make up the internet.
The symbol that summons these two heroes? Ideas should follow.
Well represented Donnie
