It is rare to hear that a celebrity like an NBA star and a seven-time NBA champion can get robbed. Considering the high-tech alarm systems and other safety measures that NBA stars take to protect their privacy, no burglar would assume it would be easy.

However, in a recent podcast interview, a seven-time NBA champion shares his story of when his house was broken into and robbed.

In the “Big Shot Bob” podcast, former NBA star Robert Horry explained how robbers ruined his Christmas. He said, “I had my house robbed one time. In college, it was the game after Christmas and we’d all come back from the tournament… we had one of these long games, we came back to my room.”

Robert Horry’s dorm (which he shared with four others) was completely robbed when he was in college but he experienced nothing like that again. Horry exclaimed, “Four of us had been robbed. My mom bought a new tv, and a new suit because I made the honor roll, and sh*t, they wiped us out! I was like, “What the fu*k happened!?”

The co-host then asks Horry, “Where did this happen?” To which the former NBA veteran laughs as he replies, “At Alabama, on campus. And I just remember saying ‘I had a new suit and I ain’t had the chance to wear it yet.’”

Another NBA player whose house got robbed after he entered the NBA was Deni Avdija. In his rookie year, the Washington Wizards player was robbed in his own house, when he was sleeping upstairs! The Israeli-Serbian professional basketball player describes the entire experience as being “crazy“. He mentions he left his garage door open one night as he used to in Israel as well and he lived in a safe neighborhood (in the U.S.).
