With his substantial collection of championship keepsakes, seven-time NBA titlist Robert Horry isn't taking risks. The former Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Lakers, and San Antonio Spurs forward told DailyMail.com, 'I keep my rings in a safe deposit box.' I'm the only one with a key.' Horry has every reason to be cautious. Although he did not mention Derek Fisher's five stolen championship rings, the 2020 robbery at his former Lakers teammate's house served as a cautionary tale for athletes. According to TMZ, Fisher reportedly took more than $300,000 worth of jewelry and other items from his house in total. Patrick Ewing of the Hall of Fame won two Olympic gold medals and the NCAA championship ring at Georgetown, which was stolen from his New York home, according to The Dan Patrick Show in 2020. Fortunately for Ewing, someone tried to sell his NCAA championship ring online, and he was able to recover it.
