Marcin Gortat was a guest of the Hejt Park program on Channel Sportowy, where he recalled his basketball career and many years spent in the NBA league. There he played, among others, for the Orlando Magic, Los Angeles Clippers and Washington Wizards.
Gortat described two burglaries at his home in the US. The first ended with the perpetrators escaping after the alarm was activated. During this visit, however, they were to see two safes, which – as he says – became crucial for later events.

The former Polish representative added that after two years there was another invasion, this time with the removal of safes. – They left the first one ten meters away, the second one 150 meters from the house – he said. In the second safe he kept rifles and military equipment that he described as valuable.
– I’m glad I wasn’t home. Considering how I train and what I’m ready for, it could be a tragedy. I wouldn’t hesitate at 99%. – said the basketball player. He emphasized that he regularly trains at the shooting range and has extensive equipment.
Gortat said that the surveillance recordings were sent to the police station. – I took the pendrive to the police station and I told the policeman that I had thoughts about what would happen if I were at home. And he said to me, “Make sure everyone is dead, so no one can sue you,” he reported.
Finally, he added that he and his wife were planning to move to Poland. The thread appeared as a consequence of the events described and his assessment of the risk of living in the USA, which he was asked about in the program.
