Isaiah Rider is one of the most popular and richest Basketball Player who was born on March 12, 1971 in Oakland, California, United States. One time NBA Champion of the 2001 Los Angeles Lakers who won the Slam Dunk competition in 1994. He also made the NBA All-Rookie First Team that same year.

He played alongside Shaquille O’Neal as a part of the Los Angeles Lakers.

During the 1991–1992 season, Rider led the Runnin’ Rebels to a 26-2 record (18-0 in conference) and a number 7 ranking in the final Associated Press regular season poll while averaging over 21 points per game, but wasn’t seen on national television because UNLV was serving an NCAA-imposed punishment that stemmed from previous infractions. (In a “plea bargain” of sorts, UNLV was allowed to defend its NCAA title the previous year – they lost to Duke in the Final Four. In exchange, the Rebels were barred from postseason play and national television for the 1991–92 season.) He finally got the nation’s eyes to watch him in his senior year, where he averaged 29.1 points per game (2nd in the country behind University of Texas-Pan American’s Greg Guy), was named the Big West Conference Player of the Year and garnered 2nd-Team All-American honors. UNLV finished 21-8 (13-5 in Big West Conference), lost the regular season conference title to New Mexico State and failed to make the NCAA’s 64-team Tournament field. The Rebels did earn a spot in the National Invitation Tournament, but Rider was suspended for the NIT due to academic issues surrounding allegations that he had someone cheating for him on some of his college classwork. Without their star player on the court, the Runnin’ Rebels were knocked out of the NIT in the 1st round 90-73 to Southern California.

Rider was chosen with the 5th overall pick of the 1993 NBA draft by the Minnesota Timberwolves. Rider started his NBA career strong, finishing the 1993–94 season as a member of the NBA’s All-Rookie First Team. He won the 1994 NBA Slam Dunk Contest (he brashly predicted that he would win on draft day) with a dunk that he called “The East Bay Funk Dunk.”

He was born in Oakland, California.
