My Take

Josh Childress always felt like a glimpse of what international basketball could be. A Stanford man out of Harbor City, California, he played for the Hawks, Suns, Nets, and Pelicans, but the move I respect most was leaving the NBA for Olympiacos in Greece. Earning All-EuroLeague Second Team honors in 2010 proved that gamble paid off and helped normalize American stars testing themselves in Europe. To me he's a smart, versatile forward who valued opportunity and money on his own terms over staying put. A trailblazer whose career choices were ahead of their time.

Overview
