Too bad he didn't hang out more with Kidd and Payton off the court. I think he's lucky to be alive. If you hang out in the streets and shoot dice in the hood it's just a matter of time before you'll get popped in the head because he's way to big for a kid with a gun to fight him over money. He's already been robbed once that was in the paper. I wonder why he doesn't feel comfortable with people that have made it out and continues to keep it real as the saying goes
This is where 38-year-old Isaiah J.R. Rider now finds himself, preparing for his first season with the North Texas Fresh, one of more than 50 teams in the American Basketball Association.
Behaved well? ... I don't think so, the lakers almost didn't include him in their playoff roster. Why that is was never really publicized. Needless to say, he got very little playoff time, if any. Some guys are just too much trouble, which is unfortunate since JR was dam talented.
The Lakers did exclude Rider from the playoff roster...But it wasnt behavior related, it was because his contributions were falling towards the end of the season. They actually even invited him back for the summer league team (basically to try out for the next season) but he didnt show up.

The guy could have been an All Star if his head were screwed on straight. He was quite a talent.

kid, there was a guy in the nba called "JR" Rider. he was unstoppable. JR smith is not in even close, speaking of talent.
