However, the basketball player himself recalled his time in Athens with not very warm emotions.
In an interview with “Basketvoice,” he revealed that the Athens club did not pay him the last salary, and the salary did not match what was stipulated in the contract.
“After the first year, money was deducted from my Greek bank account for taxes, although I had signed a two-year contract which stipulated that my earnings were net and that I was not obliged to pay taxes myself in Greece,” K.C. Rivers revealed.
– Most of the money I had in my Greek bank account was deducted because the taxes were not paid.
And I will add one more thing… When I later played in other Euroleague teams, I had to check whether I could even come to Greece because I was afraid of being arrested due to these problems.”

Although there were definitely problems, life in Athens fascinated the basketball player and still does.
“I would definitely gladly accept such an opportunity if it arose and become part of Panathinaikos again. I would like to resolve past disagreements, leave them behind, and move forward. I would look at such an opportunity very positively.
I really liked life in Athens. It is undoubtedly one of my favorite cities. And, of course, it would be special to have the chance to be close to all the hype and culture of this club again, especially now that coach Željko Obradović has returned,” K.C. Rivers told “Basketvoice.”
