Rick Fox did a lot of winning in his NBA career.

He's hoping to add some winning to his post-playing career, too.

This past week, the former Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers forward shared on Facebook his intention to run for a position in the Bahamas' House of Assembly.

"As a candidate and as a leader for the Bahamas I will demand transparency, honesty, integrity while demanding a level of excellence from all of us," Fox wrote.

Fox played 13 seasons in the NBA, winning three championship rings with the Lakers.

The Celtics chose him 24th overall in the 1991 NBA Draft out of North Carolina.

During his six seasons with Boston, Fox's stats included an average of 10.7 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.2 steals per contest.

During his final season with Boston (1996-97), Fox recorded 2.2 steals, 15.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 3.8 assists per game, marking one of his most successful seasons. He also ranked sixth in the Defensive Player of the Year balloting.

Fox then went to the Lakers for seven seasons, where he got to be a champion three times.

The 6-foot-7 small forward averaged 8.7 points per game for The Lakers, making 34.5% of his 3-point attempts.

Fox retired at the end of the 2003-04 season, and for a time, went into broadcasting.

Now, he's pursuing a political future.
