}} Kevin Joseph Pangos (born January 26, 1993) is a Canadian professional basketball player who plays for Herbalife Gran Canaria of the Liga ACB. He recently completed his college career for the Gonzaga Bulldogs of the West Coast Conference. He was named the 2015 WCC player of the year,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.wccsports.com/sports/m-baskbl/spec-rel/030315aab.html )〕 as well as a third-team All-American by Sporting News.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.sportingnews.com/list/4638000-sporting-news-all-americans-college-basketball-2014-2015-consensus/slide/306812 )〕 Pangos has also represented Canada at the international stage. ==Early life== Like many young Canadians, Pangos played youth hockey. He had family connections to the game—an uncle played in the NHL, and a cousin was drafted by the Washington Capitals—but he did not like the sport as much as basketball. In any event, he had much deeper family links to that sport. His father Bill played basketball for the University of Toronto and finished his 26th season as the head women's basketball coach at York University in Toronto in 2013, his mother Patty played Canadian Interuniversity Sport basketball at McMaster University,〔 and his sister Kayla played under their father at York.〔 Growing up, Pangos' biggest inspiration was Steve Nash, a Canadian who developed into one of the NBA's top point guards and a two-time MVP. At training camps throughout his youth, Pangos paid special attention to stories about Nash; he recalled in a 2013 interview, "Someone would say, 'Steve Nash would make 500 shots a day.' I figured I had to make 500 shots a day."〔 Although he played for various national and provincial youth squads, he frequently trained alone or with his father, as he found relatively little high-level competition in Ontario.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kevin Pangos」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
