Who Shot It Better? High Schooler vs Isaiah Rider

Isaiah Rider's story isn't a great one, but he did have a number of showstopping highlights early in his career.

One of these was a blind over the shoulder fling in December '94,  aka the "play of the decade" .

However, just as he wasn't the first to go between the legs in a dunk contest, it seems Rider wasn't the first to hit a shot like this in-game. A high schooler in California pulled off his own "play of the decade" three years earlier.



It doesn't stop there, Eric Murdock went into "play of the decade" mode the very next year, electing to cover himself in glory rather than save the ball to rookie Shawn Respert.
