Rider was one of those "coulda been" players. Million-dollar talent, but a ten-cent brain.

Remember that no look, back to the basket, falling out of bounds chuck that went in? That was pretty amazing. Or was that Harold Miner?

Yeah, he was nicknamed "baby jordan", and he was a half decent player, but he shouldnt be remembered just for the nickname.

Steve Smith was sposed to be "the next magic", so they had "baby jordan" and the "next magic" on the same team. Somtimes i wonder if the idiots that gave these nicknames ended up as employees for EA.

No Harold Miner was Baby Jordan, not Isiah Rider. According to database he had no nickname besides JR

Rider was still good when he finished up with the Hawks I believe, still scoring 20ppg....waste of talent i guess.

Except his last season was 01-02 -- he played 10 games for Denver with an average of nine points.

I wouldn't be surprised if he spent all his money on weed so now he's best friends with Ricky Williams.

IMO, Rider had HOF potential. With his strength, he could do whatever he wanted on the court. But he had a lousy attitude and could never fit in. Sad waste of talent. I hope he saved his loot.

Unfortunately some won't listen, despite all the horror stories about athletes & drugs.
