Pair of arrest warrants issued for Isaiah RiderSAN RAFAEL, Calif. -- Two arrest warrants were issued for former NBA star Isaiah Rider after he failed to show up at his sentencing for convictions that include false imprisonment and driving offenses. Judge Verna Adams waited about an hour after the scheduled Wednesday hearing before issuing the warrants. Bail was set at $10,000 each in two separate misdemeanor cases against the basketball player, who retired in 2002. Rider, 34, pleaded guilty to six misdemeanors and three infractions in the two cases in Marin County Superior Court. One involved false imprisonment and battery and the second was for driving with a suspended license and related charges. He's also wanted in Alameda County, where a bench warrant was issued July 26 when he failed to appear in court on drug charges. Rider starred at the University of Nevada at Las Vegas before being drafted fifth in 1993 by the Minnesota Timberwolves.Copyright 2006 by The Associated PressLink
This doesn't really suprise me all that much, Isaiah could have been one of the league's great players if he had his head on straight. Oh well, some guys just can never learn.
anyone got that shot where he threw it behind his back and made it from like half court while diving out of bounds? that was crazy
What a tool. I cant stand those people that think because they are famous or have a lot of money that they are above the law
What a shame, he had great talent but he got caught up with off court problems. He probaly could of been a very good player in the league for a long time
i think he's stupid! most of us never get that sort of talent of that kind of chance- he couldn't even get his sh#t together. What a loser
