Another former pro athlete on the downward spiral. It’s amazing that these athletes were once on top of the world, playing a kids sport, getting paid big money and then throwing it all away to a thug life.

Former NBA player Isaiah Rider was jailed Saturday for investigation of auto theft, police said.

The 37-year-old Rider was driving a car that failed to stop at an intersection about 2:30 a.m. in the city’s Skid Row district, Officer Norma Eisenman said.
