Rider lives close by in Mesa, AZ. He hangs around all the low life motels in the nastiest part of town looking for Meth. He got arrested on the street corner about 6 months ago. Not sure how you end up like that after having so much success in your life...sad, sad.
4:20 with Rider getting the Dunk Trophy is cool but I still wonder how cooler that 1994 Contest would have been had Harold Miner been in it. I forgot why he didn't return to defend his title. Similarly Kemp should have been in the 1995 contest instead of Tim Perry. He would have put lots of explosion into the contest.
Thanks for the update. I wonder if Miner would have been an All-Star had he gone to another team. I definitely think he would have. His story shows just because you get drafted doesn't mean you will get playing time which to me is just as bad as not getting drafted at all (Arthur Agee, William Gates, Waliyy "Main Event" Dixon, etc).
he got kicked out of the league 4 a year or some...than after that the teams just didnt want a player that didnt show up on practiseand was such a screw up
My nigga Rider was sick as hell. Too bad he couldn't keep his head on straight. He had the talent to be one of the top players in the league but didn't have the attitude. I just heard hes locked up right now. Sad story
this dude is straight ballin! He for sure had game but hey no body is perfect. We all got our flaws. He reminds me of a more explosive Carmello Anthony a little.
i remember after a playoff game, his team was blown out of the building. but when the sideline reporter interviewed him after the game, he went on and on about how well he did and how he embarrassed his defender. it was funny and awkward at the same time. he didnt care if his team won as long as he scored 30.
Isaiah, man I miss you in the NBA! The 90`s were the best times even in Germany! But Detlef Schrempf isn´t comparable with Dirk Nowitzki at this time. Detlef, I wish I had met you just once so I could break your legs and let you hopping on your balls!
yall crazy isiah would have one of the games elites if he would have stayed out of trouble he was just a HOT HEAD and a terror off the court imagine him with a media friendly lebron james mentality WOAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh dat boy isiah would have been a PROBLEMMMMMMMMMMm its a shame
rider had talent,but he couldnt stay his ass outta trouble. he was one o those mfs that thinks just cause hes a good ball player he can do anything he wants. he found out that shit wasnt true.
u know people always running they mouth about a nigga they dont even know thats why so mant people comin up wit they shit on they lap.And the reason why im spakin on my nigga is because i know him personally.what would u be doing right now if yo mama was sitting in a coma?"milton street finest".
All you guys need to shutup about a waste of talent, he did his job, and at least he wasnt one of those get my big contract deal and quit playin well, like larry johnson from the nfl
He's in jail. He was charged with felony cocaine possession and evading an officer. Before that he was court ordered to stay out of an area because he had forced a woman in a car against her will. This guy was also notorious for not showing up to team meetings on time and being a horrible teammate. He's a waste of incredible talent if anything.
Hell yeah...Love JR Rider. Too bad his life is all messed up now. I think he's in jail for kindaping his girl friend. He's been in trouble with the law pretty much since the Lakers cut him. Too bad, he was awesome. All my fantasy bball teams are named after him...the JR Riders!
I know he's a jackass but I always liked the guy. He was the underdog, although he brought that upon himself.
One of the craziest NBA moments ever I remember was when upon being ejected from a game and refusing to leave the court, his mom had to leave her courtside seat and drag him off the court!!!
not enough dunk highlights i thought he was known as an explosive dunker i remember when rider was a blazer and he just gave the lakers headaches to guard him
you should of used his 1994 track as the bgm

Miner was injured and had to pass in 1994.
Kemp was asked to compete in 1995 and said no, saying he was more of a game dunker than a contest dunker.
