Rick Fox Snubs Celtics/Lakers, Joins “Melrose Place”
Thanks to our boy Skeets, we just heard that former Celtic/Laker Rick Fox has been added to the cast of “Melrose Place.” Wow. Let that sink in for a minute. While the show premieres on The CW on September 8, Rick is only in one episode so far, the eighth of the season. Don’t worry though, according to the Hollywood Reporter, his role will be recurring.
This got me thinking: What other former NBA players would be great to have on a TV show?

I’d like to see Charles Barkley replace Dr. Phil or any of those daytime therapist types. Maybe we could see ‘Judge Charles’ in his own courtroom show.

Damon Jones on The Style Network traveling across the nation (or every place he”s played) and helping lousy dressers step up their wardrobe with “Shiny Zoot Suits”. He can call it the “Give & Go” show.

Shaq! oh wait a minute..
Artest of course! Let him host a show that introduces the viewer to the aspects of ghetto golf, ghetto tennis, ghetto soccer, ghetto figure skating etc. have guest stars on and shit.
D-Wade, Nash, Deron or Jameer Nelson would be nice on a cop or an office show.
Cooking show with Reggie and Oliver Miller.
Infomercials with Yao and George Muresan. (add Barkley here and u get an instant insult comedy classic).
but most of all I wanna see slightly armed Dwight wrestle something huge like a bear or an anaconda.

Hello! Kermit I feel that Rick would be excellent on a tv show, especially, if he could perhaps hosted a daytime talk show….That would be terrific!
