Knicks forward Derrick Williams was robbed of $750,000 in jewelry at his Tribeca apartment early Saturday â and heâs 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.
âI donât want to talk about it,â Williams said after the Knicksâ game at Madison Square Garden Saturday night. âItâs still up in the air.â

Go try and explain this to the insurance guy. I doubt if his homeowners policy will cover this deal. That’s the thing about having high-price jewelry around a house....you need a wall safe to keep the stuff real safe.
I'm guessing the insurance company is going to want to see the receipts. Because when my car was broken into, I reported a loss of $350,000 in camping equipment. The insurance company was skeptical.
Am I supposed to feel sorry for him?
Lord, thank you for not making me rich but good looking instead.
Sordid from beginning to end, it sounds like.
Do people still watch NBA? I haven’t seen a game since Suns-Spurs playoff in 2007-8. They are a league of thugs and lowlifes now. Ah, the days of Magic and Bird...
That’s a lot of bling.
How about Cousy & Sharman?
After redecorating my wife’s finger for our fifteenth wedding anniversary I have no doubt you could spend that kind of money on jewelry.
I gave up in the early 80s.

Handcuffs involved?
So much NBA salary & endorsements, so few trifles to throw it away on!
Parking is so hard to find in NYC, so he's limited on the number of RR Corniches and Veyrons plus the LaFerrari was sold out.
He paid the price of utter stupidity.

Tribeca (for those who don’t know) = the triangle below Canal St...
Those were some expensive ho’s.....
“... I have no doubt you could spend that kind of money on jewelry.”
Easily, esp. men’s jewelry which is bigger and heavier than women’s jewelry.
Well, I suppose he was foolish, but those women are thieves and I hope they are caught and punished.
Invite strangers into your house, leave $750,000 in jewelry laying around.
They certainly did not pay him for his brains.
I had a party once at my house for FRIENDS and neighbors... when it was over my wife’s perfume case had 3 bottles missing.
If nice watches are included, it’s easy. A platinum rolex Daytona is about $80k. Pateks can easily clear $100k. I can put a few hundred thousand dollars in watches in my coat pocket, easily, and still have room for a candy bar and more.
