"SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico -- Former NBA player Rick Fox announced he will run for a legislative seat in the Bahamas in next year's general election. His candidacy comes as the archipelago struggles with high-profile corruption cases, an influx of people entering the country illegally and ongoing recovery from Hurricane Dorian, a devastating Category 5 storm that hit in September 2019."
"Fox made the announcement Monday on Facebook. "You've shared that you want more transparency, a modern economy that prioritizes affordability and security, and a country where opportunity is our reality, not just a promise," he wrote. Fox is a three-time NBA champion with the Los Angeles Lakers. In 2015, he co-founded Echo Fox and purchased a franchise spot in the North America League of Legends Championship Series (LCS), part of the world's highest-profile esports circuit. He has since left the organization."
