'''Joshua Malik Childress''' (born June 20, 1983) is an American former professional [[basketball]] player. An [[All-EuroLeague Team|All-EuroLeague Second Team]] member in 2010, he played with the [[Atlanta Hawks]], [[Phoenix Suns]], [[Brooklyn Nets]], and [[New Orleans Pelicans]] of the [[National Basketball Association]] (NBA), and [[Olympiacos B.C.|Olympiacos Piraeus]] of the [[Greek Basket League]] and [[EuroLeague]].

==Early life==
Childress grew up in [[Compton, California]] where he and his brother, Chris, played basketball and did their best to stay out of trouble. The neighborhood they lived in was very tight and supportive, but they lived under constant threat of gangsters in the area.<ref>[http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/basketball/josh-childresss-incredible-journey-from-compton-to-the-sydney-kings/story-fni2fljn-1227564026165 Josh Childress’s incredible journey from Compton to the Sydney Kings]</ref> Childress attended [[Mayfair High School]] in nearby [[Lakewood, California|Lakewood]], overlapping with MLB All-Star [[Justin Turner]]. Besides playing basketball in high school and being named a [[McDonald's High School All-American]], he also played [[volleyball]] during his senior year. He led his high school volleyball team, the Monsoons, to an undefeated record and he was voted to the All-League volleyball team. Josh has his #22 jersey retired at Mayfair.

==College career==
Childress played three seasons of [[college basketball]] with [[Stanford Cardinal men's basketball|Stanford]], where he was named an [[2004 NCAA Men's Basketball All-Americans#Individual All-America teams|AP first team All-American]], an [[2004 NCAA Men's Basketball All-Americans|All-American Consensus second team]] honoree, the [[Pac-12 Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Year|Pac-10 Conference Player of the Year]] and the [[Pacific-12 Conference men's basketball tournament|Pac-10 Conference tournament]] [[Most valuable player|MVP]] as a junior in 2004. He then declared for the [[2004 NBA draft]] where he was selected by the Atlanta Hawks with the sixth overall pick, becoming the highest Stanford player to be drafted in the NBA.

==Professional career==

=== Atlanta Hawks (2004–2008) ===
Childress was selected with the sixth overall pick in the [[2004 NBA draft]] by the [[Atlanta Hawks]]. During his rookie season in [[2004–05 NBA season|2004–05]], Childress emerged as one of two promising rookie talents for the Hawks, along with [[Josh Smith]]; as the season went on, the two showed improved play, minutes and production. Childress ranked third among rookies in [[Double (basketball)#Double-double|double-double]]s in the 2004–05 season, behind only [[Emeka Okafor]] and [[Dwight Howard]]. He was also voted to the [[NBA All-Rookie Team|NBA All-Rookie second team]].

Over the next three seasons, Childress played a sixth man role for the Hawks, and in four total seasons for the franchise, he averaged 11.1 points and 5.6 rebounds in 285 games with 67 starts.<ref>[https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/c/childjo01.html Josh Childress NBA Stats]</ref>

=== Olympiacos (2008–2010) ===
[[File:Josh Childress 2009 (cropped).jpg|thumb|left|upright|Childress in November 2009]]
In July 2008, Childress signed a three-year, $20 million contract with the Greek team [[Olympiacos B.C.|Olympiacos Piraeus]]. Because of tax breaks from playing overseas, however, his $20 million contract was equivalent to $32.5 million with an NBA team. Childress also had the option to opt out of the contract after each year.<ref>[https://www.espn.com/nba/news/story?id=3501488 Ex-Hawk Childress signs with Greek club team]</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Allen Iverson and the top 6 basketball players outside the NBA |date=2010-11-01 |website=[[The Christian Science Monitor]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210619102837/https://www.csmonitor.com/World/Global-Issues/2010/1101/Allen-Iverson-and-the-top-6-basketball-players-outside-the-NBA/Josh-Childress-in-Greece |archive-date=2021-06-19 |url-status=live |url=https://www.csmonitor.com/World/Global-Issues/2010/1101/Allen-Iverson-and-the-top-6-basketball-players-outside-the-NBA/Josh-Childress-in-Greece}}</ref> Childress also received a Greek [[Nike, Inc.|Nike]] shoe contract after signing with Olympiacos, a Nike sponsorship club. He had been offered a five-year, $33 million deal by the [[Atlanta Hawks]], but he turned it down because it was significantly less money than what Olympiacos offered him.<ref>[https://www.espn.com/nba/news/story?id=3798680 Agent: Boykins to stay in Italy]</ref>

During the [[2008–09 Euroleague|2008–09 EuroLeague]] season, he averaged 8.8 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.1 steals per game. During the [[2009–10 Euroleague|2009–10 EuroLeague]] season, he averaged 15.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.2 steals per game.<ref>[http://www.euroleague.net/competition/players/showplayer?pcode=001225 CHILDRESS, JOSH – Euroleague.net]</ref>

=== Phoenix Suns (2010–2012) ===
