Post Up With Josh Childress
Josh ChildressWhile Kenyon Martin is putting together his answers to your questions, we thought we’d get the second Post Up installment started. Josh Childress is down to answer any questions you guys have for him, so fire away. He says he’ll be logging a ton of time on team buses over the next few days and will have plenty of time to answer questions about the NBA, Europe, sneakers, life, and whatever else you guys come up with.
Leave your questions in the comments section below and we’ll get them to Josh to get them answered in the next few days…

SayItAintSo says:
Man, when I lived in Spain I dated an Italian woman and a Belgian woman. Neither shaved (nor trimmed) their…
My question to you Josh is: Has that changed? Do they shave now? I need to know that things have changed before I go blowing all this money on a flight to Europe again.

Mikey says:
I just read a note that stated and estimated 60-95 percent of NBA players are depressed.
Josh, did you ever suffer from depression in the NBA? Did you notice it in teammates? Is it similar in Greece (it’s hard to imagine someone being depressed in some place so beautiful)?

Hey Josh,
Now that you’ve played in the league and overseas, what do you think is biggest difference in the basketball style? How do the skill level, athleticism and rules effect you?

Zach says:
How is life over there? Are you hounded in the streets for autographs and stuff or do you kinda just go about your business and everyone else does the same?

Chilly, as a hardcore Atlanta fan that really liked and respected what you brought to the floor, I ask this: Is your relationship with the Hawks beyond repair? Can you see yourself coming back under any circumstances? We miss you man! (also, how you liking your boy Marvin´s new 3-point range??)

N-Truh-Kit says:
In all honesty…now that you have been balling over seas for a couple months, are you enjoying it more than in the NBA and if so would you rather stay over there than come back?

JCARR says:
Josh, do you feel that your game has improved while playing in Europe? How do you feel about the competition over there and do you ever think about coming back to the NBA?
December 4th, 2008 at 3:40 pm
M says:
Hi Josh,
How is the competition compared to the NBA? How is your lifestyle compared to the US, and do you find it easy to adapt in your new country?

Three Stacks says:
J-Chill, I’m a big fan. Hope you’re doing well overseas.
Is your transfer to the Euroleague something permanent? Or would you consider coming back to the NBA?
Also, is it hard to find afro picks in Greece?
And what was your SAT score outta high school? Was it up to the standards of Stanford, or did they overlook a few points because of your balling ability?

mike says:
Who is the best player you’ve played against? Is there a dominant superstar in Euroleague?
December 4th, 2008 at 4:03 pm
Big Sia says:
Joshua,
Would you consider coming back to the NBA after a tenure at the euroleague? Would you put the Hawks at the top of your list?
December 4th, 2008 at 4:07 pm
bigdoggchad says:
Would you advice other NBA players to go play overseas when they are still in there prime like you have? We have had plenty of NBA players go over there at the end of there careers.

doc says:
Are you winning MVP in that league you in?
December 4th, 2008 at 4:48 pm
quick wit it says:
has there been a language barrier?
do you regret your decision?
is making it rain euros equally as exciting as making it rain dollars?
were you hazed at all entering on to that new team? or did you dunk all over someone in the first day of practice and its been smooth sailing since?

Don Mega says:

chronically_ill says:
Yo
Who’s play has impressed you the most in Europe? What do you think of Brandon Jennings? Do you think more NBA players will follow your path in the future? How many more years do you think will it take until the Euroleague is completely on par with the NBA? Is it common to see people playing ball in the streets? If so, how good is the talent there? I’ve heard the Euroleague has some crazy ass fans. Any wild stories from the road?

Amsterdam says:
Josh,
How are those Greek fans? Are they really that fanatic/crazy as I’ve heard? What’s the atmosphere in the stadiums during games, better or worse compared to the NBA?

Elijah says:
Hey josh do you remember me I’m the kid from your old team SCA you played one on one against me…Anyways how much do you average over in greece?

December 4th, 2008 at 10:07 pm

JRUF says:
Josh,
What is the biggest adjustments you made in your game and lifestyle, moving from Atlanta to Greece?
Best sneakers you have worn to play and to just kick back in?

Hey Josh,
1st off I wanna say I am a diehard Hawks fan and you were my favorite player on that team (my game is a mixed pattern of you and Tony Parker) and I was whole-heartedly upset that they didn’t show you the love and respect that you not only deserved but damn well earned. I think had they shown you that you would be back with the team and helping us kick ass and take names in the league, money be damned. With that said I have to ask you would you consider a return to the Hawks after the season? and if not this season then after your contract overseas is up?

Hi Josh,
Who in the league do you want to posterize very badly?
December 5th, 2008 at 8:13 am
len-e says:
yo josh!
congrats on doing your thing in europe!
with all the recent talk (olympics) about the different playing styles and being able to ask someone who i suppose can judge both of them very well – fiba and nba –
what’s the real difference? can one of them be described as “softer”, “easier” or “more challenging”?
i’m having arguments with friends all day about that.
peace, lenny (vienna, austria)

Are you enjoying the new league your in?
Have you found someone to groom that hair of yours?
AND, HOW ARE THE LADIES OVER THERE? Which do you prefer, our american girls or the euro chicks?
Good luck & really miss watching you play.

How’s the food? I bet gyros are dank.

one66soul says:
I hate you left but in all honesty I dont think we would have picked up both Flip and Mo if you would have signed with the hawks. Your departure seems to have made our bench deeper. Have you watched any Hawks games this year?

dukesman2000 says:
How are those European women liking the brothers. Are we a big hit over there?

Crod6926 says:
Josh i saw an espn special report on you and i saw a man kissing your feet. Are you adored that much over there? and i was listening to your phone conversation yesterday when the hawks played the celtics. You said how its dangerous after you guys lose games because the fans take it very personal. What are some crazy things that have happened to you after losing a game? any?
