I’m sick of hearing about the damn strike, as if anything is going to be ironed out anytime soon. The season probably isn’t going to happen. So instead of focusing on an upcoming season that probably won’t happen, let’s look back at some historical NBA stuff that has happened. Call it reflecting, call it contemplating, call it chilling out- But let’s do it, baby. Specifically about the NBA Slam Dunk Contest; who is the greatest champion of all time? The contest started in 1984 and there have been 26 total contests and 20 men have walked away with the title.

Ex-NBA player Isaiah Rider was issued two arrest warrants for failing to show up at his sentencing that include flase empriseonment and driving offenses.

Oakland police reported Tuesday that former NBA player Isaiah "J.R." Rider, 35, was arrested early Sunday for felony cocaine possession at a home in the Oakland hills.
