A Brotha Beyond the Brink???
You can take him out the ghetto, but you can't take the ghetto out of him...
Say it aint so...Please. 
Now, I don't know all the details to this but I do know that Isiah JR Rider, former NBA player who once possesed one of the sweetest jump shots in the NBA, was arrested early Thursday 1/26/2006 morning on kidnapping and battery charges in Marin City --as in "The County of Marin" (One of the richest counties in the US). Basically, he wasn't in the hood.
It seems like dude was smashing off in ol' girl's Benz with her in it against her will. I guess he didn't have a white Ford Bronco of his own...
Nonetheless, it's a tragedy to see such a talented Black man fall from grace only to be a mug shot and a topic on my blog.
In time, the racial identity of his alleged victim may be revealed. But I'm leaning toward her being a white girl. I'm saying, he was in the NBA!
Feel free to bet me.
