Interesting article from the New York Daily News about the Telfair and Fabolous incident, and similar occurrences. Here is an excerpt:

“When he called, I already had an idea that it was the Commission (aka the Street Family) that was behind the robbery,” says Parker about the Brooklyn street crew that he thinks was responsible for Telfair’s jacking. “I wasn’t surprised at all. I know how the Commission operates.

Telfair isn’t the first NBA player to become a robbery victim – whether at the hands of a hip-hop faction or others. In Oct. 2002, former Nets guard Chris Childs was robbed at gunpoint of $800 cash and an estimated $30,000 worth of jewelry outside of Justin’s. In 2000, Telfair’s cousin, Knicks guard Stephon Marbury, was robbed of a diamond chain worth an estimated $150,000, as he got into a Bentley parked on W. 21st near 10th Avenue, after leaving a Manhattan nightclub.

Full Story

Whenever I see Celebs walking around with big chains and no security I wonder what the hell are they thinking. I guess they don’t know how desperate these people in the streets are. Carrying a few of your boys with you won’t do much once somebody runs up on you with a gun, especially on those dark streets of New York clubs. Most of these New York clubs are on the outskirts and across the streets from projects. Its interesting how they say Fab is down with that crew, I always hear stories of Fabolous getting robbed, but who knows if they are true.
