Isaiah Rider fulfills his potential

Remember Isaiah Rider, one of the early Timberwolves? Troublemaker? Time challenged?

It seems that he finally worked up to his potential: "Former T-Wolves Guard Charged With Kidnapping".

(AP) Marin, Calif. Troubled former NBA player Isaiah Rider appeared in court Friday to face kidnapping charges but did not enter a plea because he did not have a lawyer.

Rider, 34, was arrested Thursday on charges of kidnapping and battery, said Sgt. Bruce Baker of the Marin County Sheriff's office. Rider, who also faces an outstanding warrant for resisting arrest in Alameda County, was released Friday from Marin County Jail on $2 million bail.

Rider allegedly got into an argument Wednesday night with the unidentified female acquaintance and drove off with her against her will, Baker said. The woman began to scream, attracting the attention of police. Authorities tracked Rider down early Thursday morning and arrested him, Baker said. The woman was not injured.

He has indeed sunk to expectations.

Good luck to you, Mr. Rider. May you excise your demons.
