Laker Rick Fox, often discussed in the "hot basketball players" thread, may retire from the game if Phil Jackson leaves the team and the Lakers lose a number of key players. "With all the uncertainty of our team up in the air, I want to be on a Phil Jackson team, I want to be playing for Dr. Buss and the Lakers, and I want to be working with Kobe and Shaq, even if they can't get along at times. That's all I've known and that's all I love....I'll make my decision on whatever everyone else does." The fact he wouldn't be on a winning team without them probably factors into it, too.

He says he will focus on acting if he does retire from basketball.
