Three-time NBA champion Rick Fox on Monday said he will run for a seat in the Bahamas' House of Assembly in an election due to be held no later than October. "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 on social media.
Steve Nash on Canada’s chances to win Olympics: It's incredible for me as a guy who came in the league and there was Bill Wennington, who went to high school in New York, but I believe his roots are in Montreal and Rick Fox who was born in Toronto and moved to the Bahamas in like 14 days. So that was it for Canada. Now there's like 24 guys on NBA rosters, the MVP of the league, really really good players. I think for Canada, frankly, the third position at the World Cup was great was a great result for them.

Last dream to make: the Olympics and an NBA title? Eric Gordon: I would’ve loved to take the Bahamas to the Olympics. I would’ve loved that. It’s going to be hard, because that’s in 2028, and as I get older it’s going to be tough. But of course, the dream was always to win a gold medal in the Olympics.

What about — like, I was telling them — the difference you notice when you make that jump from college to the NBA? The spacing you get, the flow that’s better, the pace is faster. What was that difference like for you? VJ Edgecombe: So, remember I played with the Bahamas team? Yeah — so I was already in some space, kind of playing in professional-type spacing. College though? I hated college basketball, personally. Some people love it — I don’t. Because I was also dealing with two centers — two bigs — sitting in the paint. I’m trying to get to the cup, and it was bad. I’m like, “Bro, I got no space to operate.” And then you can sit in the paint — you know what I’m saying? There’s no three-second rule. Nothing.
I believe that Deandre Ayton was the Lakers' top target among centers from the first minute of free agency. I know it might have looked to some like the Lakers lost out to the Clippers on Brook Lopez and pivoted to Ayton, but that's not how it went down. Ayton and the Trail Blazers came to terms on a buyout agreement on the day before free agency officially began and the 7-foot Bahamian was instantly regarded by numerous interested teams as a virtual lock to land with the Lakers.
Klay Thompson might not be quite ready to go Instagram official with Megan Thee Stallion ... but, that doesn't mean he won't tease fans with a couple of strategically taken photos.

Jamaican-Bahamian NBA star Deandre Ayton, together with his Ayton Family Foundation, has expanded his philanthropic efforts to Jamaica by opening a revitalized community center in St. Elizabeth.

• Dowtin on where he believes he has improved as a player since the team held its training camp in The Bahamas at the beginning of October: "I think all aspects of my game, you can kind of see [improvement], from being a leader, being a point guard, being able to find guys, being able to move the ball, being able to play in transition, being able to knock down open threes, catch-and-shoot threes, threes off the dribble, being able to get to the paint, finish around the rim, being a vocal in the defensive end. Just everything, all-around aspects of my game I think have improved. I think I've shown that a lot throughout this year."
