Rick Fox Reveals All During Return To Bahamas Home

Former L.A. Laker and actor Rick Fox returned to his homeland, The Bahamas during the holidays with his family. Included was his daughter from his marriage to actress/singer Vanessa Williams who stars in ABC shows 666 and Desperate Housewives.
A symbol of national pride to Bahamians, Fox was spotted around town dining at his favorite restaurants, greeting fans and even attending Junkanoo. He also paid a courtesy call on Prime Minister Perry G. Christie, and bought along NBA legend Magic Johnson.
However, it was his interview with University of Missouri alum and co-anchor of ZNS news Christopher Saunders which has locals talking. Fox, who revealed that he hasn’t lost his Bahamian accent, shared his memories of wanting to be like Mychal Thompson, a countryman who made it to the NBA. He also discussed what he regretted when he decided to accept the offer to play in the United States. And despite having his own success as an athlete, he expressed his desire to be a part of a Bahamian team at the Olympics and described what it felt like to hold the medal of one of The Bahamas’ relay team members from the 2012 Olympics.
