Came across an interesting story on Yahoo.com. Or let me rephrase it, Brother Jon did. Apparently Atlanta Hawks Restricted Free Agent Forward Josh Childress (the guy who looks like Kid from Kid-n- Play) has received a serious offer for a contract from a Professional Team in Greece. So serious in fact that he's actually considering it...

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. 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...

As a player, I was always a guy that sought contact. I was a small guy, but I played football as well so I was used to banging bodies. I played physical and I went hard to the basket because I knew many of my opponents didn't.
