gold star for USAHOF

36. Isaiah Rider

36. Isaiah Rider
A Shooting Guard who would win the Slam Dunk Championship as a member of the Timberwolves, Isaiah Rider was a dunking machine as the 5th overall pick in the draft. Rider would exceed over 20 Points per Game for the 1994/95 Season and a near 19 PPG as a member of the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Had Rider not been a bit (or maybe a lot) of a selfish player, he would have probably been ranked higher here and had a better career overall in Basketball.
