Telfair’s Chain Gets Snatched

I have to admit I thought it was a little bit strange that Boston Celtics’ guard Sebastian Telfair was having his best game of the preseason the other night against the Knicks before failing to emerge from the locker room for the second half.

But Doc Rivers said he was sick and it was left at that.

It turns out that Telfair spent the second half with the NYPD looking through lineups to try and spot the guy who jacked his $50,000 chain outside of P-Diddy’s nightclub. The same night, rapper Fabolous was shot in the leg outside of the same place later on that night.

ESPN later published unconfirmed reports that some of the men with Fabolous were in the lineups.

Bossip, who at least claims to have sources in the “streets,” says both the “streets” and the NYPD were looking to talk to Telfair and his brother about their possible connection to the shooting.

I’m not sure what to believe but for the good of the story, I hope it turns out that there is a connection between the robbery and the shooting. Imagine the implications on the hip hop world.

Telfair is a close friend of Jay-Z and maybe this little mishap could insight an all out east coast on east coast rap war. I guess we’ll have to wait and see if Fab wears the stolen necklace in his next video.

Too bad Telfair wasn’t carrying his gun this time.
