What a life, eh?

ATHENS — On a conference call with his agent’s office in early July, Atlanta Hawks forward Josh Childress was told about all the NBA teams interested in signing him. Franchises like Phoenix, San Antonio, Oklahoma City and Cleveland were discussed before his agent, Jim Tanner, added one surprise.

“Oh, and we got a call from Greece,” he said.

Childress laughed at the unexpected development. But three months and one potentially groundbreaking decision later, Childress is living in a three-bedroom apartment in the fashionable Athens suburb of Glyfada. He received a three-year, $20 million contract from Olympiacos, making him the highest-paid basketball player in the world outside of the NBA. With his housing, Volvo, chef, telephone and Greek taxes paid for by the team, Childress estimated he would take home about $6 million this season, about twice as much as he would have had he played in the NBA.

“I get paid double, my role increases, I have no expenses and I move to a nice city?” Childress said. “How many guys wouldn’t do that, regardless if you’re a lawyer or a doctor? In a business sense, if I were to tell people that I passed on that deal, I would be stupid. That would be the next headline: Josh Childress Shouldn’t Have Gone to Stanford. He’s an Idiot.”............................

Good for him.

Walk out on a team, go to Greece, leave the NBA.

Can you spell c-a-n-c-e-r.

Heh, evidently, your debate-monger skills are beginning to wane.

The European game also better suits Childress’s style. His college coach, Mike Montgomery, said Childress’s on-court gift was “the joy he takes in his teammates doing well.” European basketball is far more dictated by teams playing five on five; the NBA is more of a one-on-one league.

Whatever.

Let's see what happens when he wants to return to the NBA.

He'll have a job...immediately. He's now an international icon!

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

Uh-huh.

An international quitter.

I guess sports unions are fine with that type of mentality, but he let his teammates down by quitting on them. It may sit well in your book, but not in mine.

That's OK. Your book is a quick read, friend.

Maybe so, but it's salacious!

Mine, too. Many, many chapters' worth.
