The Maccabi Tel-Aviv vs Olimpia Milano 2022 International Club Friendly Games match will take place on September 23, i.e on Friday. Former All-EuroLeague guard Kevin Pangos signed with Olympia Milano this summer after the last playing with the Cleveland Cavaliers in his first stint in the NBA. The experience was not what the Canadian player had hoped for. Before he was sacked, he averaged only 6.9 minutes in 24 games. When asked if his position and altruistic style of play made it difficult for him to adjust to the NBA, Pangos somewhat disagreed. “There are a lot of players who can play in the NBA. I think it’s an opportunity and it’s about taking advantage of that opportunity,” Pangos said at the Milan presentation. “I don’t think it’s a trait issue, I think it’s just playmakers or certain individuals struggling.
There are a lot of factors that come into play. It’s a great league and everyone is very talented, but I think European players are also very talented. Pangos had a successful Euroleague career with Russian club Zenit St. Petersburg before moving to the Cavaliers, where the club led the playoffs for the first time with 14.8 goals and 6.7 assists. One win from club history and the Final Four. He was due to return to Russia with CSKA in Moscow last February after being sacked from the Cavaliers. However, the war in Ukraine prevented him from actually playing for a big country. “There were definitely moments when he wasn’t sure what his future and his career would be,” Pangos said. “In that situation, I took my seat. It was definitely a period of anxiety. In the end, everything worked out and I was able to sign for Milan and be here with his family.
