Hawks' fans...you no longer have to worry about the status of free agent forward Josh Childress.He's decided he wants to eat falafel in the original Athens...Greece, that is...not the home of Sanford Stadium and R.E.M.
Childress confirmed the deal to Atlanta Journal-Constitution reporter Sekou Smith this morning.
"It's official, I just signed," Childress said by phone Wednesday morning from Athens, where he and agent Jim Tanner will be until Friday. "I think it was . . . a situation where I didn't know who/what to expect coming in, coming over to Athens. But it's a great city and a great organization. They do whatever they can to make you feel at home."
The deal is the most lucrative current contract in European basketball (worth more than $20M reportedly), and is the biggest in Euroleague history. Not bad from a boy from Stanford. Childress will be playing for Olympiakos, as you can see their logo below...
You can read the rest of Smith's AJC article hyah...
I wonder if the Kid-N-Play look will jive in Greece. Who knows...
Good luck, Josh.
