Trouble always seems to find Jayson Williams.
The former NBA star’s South Carolina estate was recently robbed of more $150,000 in sports memorabilia, electronics and jewelry, The Post has learned.
Among the stolen items were a pair of Tiger Woods’ shoes autographed by the sullied billionaire golfer, shorts signed by basketball legend Wilt Chamberlain, and a handwritten lyric sheet by rapper Tupac Shakur.
The burglar also scored four plasma-screen TVs and jewelry, including a diamond Breitling watch and a gold Rolex.
"I want my memorabilia back because they mean more to me than what they represent," the ex-Net’s wife, Tanya Young-Williams, told The Post.
"Unfortunately, this just another episode within my surreal reality, but I’m a fighter."
Young-Williams went public with the theft on her Facebook page, though it’s unclear when in the last two weeks the heist occurred.
She believes the burglar was an acquaintance because the waterfront mansion in Bluffton, SC, is in a gated community.
Young-Williams is offering a $5,000 reward for the return of the items.
The Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that it responded to a burglary at Williams’ home, but declined to say if any suspect had been identified.
"The sheriff’s office is investigating a burglary that was reported at that residence," said Capt. Allen Horton. "It is an active investigation."
The embattled baller pleaded guilty to an aggravated assault charge on Jan. 11 for fatally shooting his limo driver during a booze-fueled night eight years ago.
He faces between 18 months and five years in prison when he is sentenced on Feb. 23. Williams was also busted in Manhattan this month for drunken driving and crashing his SUV.
