It's unlikely that any NBA star can "fake" an injury and sit out the rest of the season. His contract is contigent on him playing when he's able to, a medical evaluation can easily determine whether he is faking it or not.
Tmac may not have to retire to get paid, keep in mind he was the one that made that comment. So he has to live with the backlash.
Plus what type of mentality does a player as talented as Tmac have to have to go out and make this type of a comment. It tells everyone, other than his die hard fans(you for example), that when the things aren't going well, he's not the guy you want leading your team. It takes more than just what you do on the court to make a great leader.
