For a short period of time former Atlanta Hawks guard Josh Childress was considering returning to NBA, but after giving it some thought he has decided to return to Greece.

“When I left Greece to come back [here to the U.S.], I had it in my head that was going back to Greece no matter what,” Childress recently told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “Then when I got home and had my feet on the ground for a couple of days, I really wanted to explore my options and see what was out there. It was 50-50 from there.”

Childress, 26, played 4 years with the Hawks before deciding to leave the NBA to pursue a pro basketball career in Greece. He averaged 13.3 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.3 steals last season with his Greek team the Olympiakos.

“My team did well, but there’s no question, I didn’t have the year I wanted to have,” Childress said. “And with that being said, I have some serious work left to do in Athens. That was part of my decision to go back, as well.”

Enjoy the rest of your career in Greece! Nobody in the United States really cares if you ever come back or not.
