Josh Childress, After Unusual Term in Greece, Relishes Home

Filed under: Suns, Euroleague

Josh Childress had to use his athleticism in Greece for more than driving to the hoop. Try dodging projectiles.

Childress, a Phoenix forward, returned to the NBA this season after two years playing for Olympiakos, located just outside Athens in Piraeus. And you wonder why he says he became anxious to get back to the States.

"You name it,'' Childress said in an interview with FanHouse about how fans would throws objects at games throughout Greece. "Pieces of marble to ceramic, M-80s, lighters, cameras, cell phones, coins, bottles of urine, feces. Everything.''

Wait a minute? Bottles of urine?

"Actually, some of my buddies got hit with them,'' Childress said. "I don't even know why you would think to do that.''

Feces?

"It's as bad as it sounds,'' Childress said.
