JR Rider

[The Professional Fan]

I was pondering changing my avi because the group of dudes in my current one I never hang out with anymore

Got to thinking about what I’d change it to, and JR Rider popped in my head because honestly I fucking loved him as a Blazer. One of my all time favorite Blazers to watch play the game (Sabas #1)

I do believe I’m kinda in the minority when it comes to Rider

What say you about the dude?

 

[blazerkor]

I actually liked JR. When he was on, there were few better during his stint with the team. That being said, he doesn't crack my top 20 Blazers.

 

[Orion Bailey]

Always thought of him as a poor mans dwade

 

[ripcityboy]

Whenever I made a pipe out of a Coke Can.... I thought of that guy. Man there was a cross product promotion miss if I ever saw one!

All that money and they have to use a pop can. Lol. Never understood that one, or why he was smoking on the side of the road in Lake Oswego of all places. He wasn't the sharpest fella.

He was talented for sure. I loved it when he was on but if he wasn't he kept popping shots from deep until one dropped. Hearing the "pop can" chat from the crowd everytime he touched the ball was comical.

 

[BBert]

I did love watching him iso and post guys up. Unstoppable he was.

I loved Rider too. Was very disappointed when we traded him and Jimmy Jackson for Steve Smith.

How? Wade didn't play back then.

If you want a Blazer that was a really good player but a little f'd in the head go with Billy Ray Bates.

 

[Reep]

I saw him play for UNLV against Reno. Dude got one bad foul call against him on defense that made him mad. He got the inbound after the free throws and you knew what was going to happen as you could see it in his eyes. He drove down and around all five defenders and dunked it. Very impressive. He had issues but he could dominate when motivated.

 

[Hoopguru]

JR Rider was an idiot that could hoop.
Waisted always and wasted a career!

I felt kinda bad for Jimmy Jackson at the time, but Steve Smith became one of my all time favorite blazers, so I got over it.

Oh my, Billy Ray was Rider on steroids. Damn, though, B Ray was never caught speeding on I84 while smoking weed out of a pop can, with a trunk full of stolen phones...

Neither was JR Rider, lol.

Rider was caught pulled over on the side of the road in LO smoking pot out of a pop can. Also it wasn't a stolen cell phone, it was a cloned cell phone, meaning it was using other people's accounts to make calls.

I suppose I am mixing up my Jail Blazer memories..I seem to remember a couple of guys being pulled over at high speed on I84, a big cloud of smoke on the stop etc etc...oh, and who was it that tried to pass off a trading card as their ID? hahahaha

Rasheed and Damon we're pulled over on I-5 in a yellow hummer.

Qyntel Woods is the one who used his trading card for ID.

ah, yeah...so many stories, so few brain cells. Brought to you by the guy that thought he could sneak his pot on a plane by wrapping it in tin foil.

What is so funny to me is that I really liked the play of that team, most of the time. But, good grief, almost every guy on that team was ahead case.

 

[handiman]

Rider is like that guilty pleasure movie that you only admit to liking to certain friends.

 

[Sheldon Shape]

JR was one of my favorite players - he was also really nice to meet when I was a kid the few times I met him.

 

[riverman]

I was never a fan of JR the man but no doubt he was really talented...just lacked leadership and character to make most of the fanbase proud...I don't miss him

You are getting so skilled at this!

We gotta find a way to make you some money doing it. Ask me for a letter of recommendation anytime. You can make a thousand copies and mail your resumé to every advertising company in the world.

Your memory is clouded and confused from living the straight life...so you ridicule drugs. You should be the last to criticize anyone's confusion.

Legalize it! You are proof that it's no worse than you!

Hahahaha..yeah, I do not imbibe. Yet, I am pro legal pot. And in my youth, you could have been a Cheech to my Chong.

Well good, you're a pretty good guy after all. One thing I've learned from message boards is that at least half of conservatives want drug liberalization, not a police state. It's hard to find sharp political lines anymore.

Too late.

 

[Chris Craig]

JR Rider was the jailblazer before the jailblazers. He was always in some kind of trouble or another.

 

[DaLincolnJones]

Too late.

Hahahaha, talk about a waste of time.

 

[A Lillard Bit More]

This may sound funny, but he's the reason I'm a Blazers fan. Lol. I lived in Vegas and followed him at UNLV. When he went to the Lakers, I couldn't bring myself to change teams. Especially them.
