He is widely considered as one of the best point guards in EuroLeague history.[https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/en/euroleague/news/monaco-tabs-euroleague-assists-king-nick-calathes Monaco tabs assists King Nick Calathes]
After playing college basketball for the Florida Gators, Calathes won the EuroLeague title with Panathinaikos in 2011, and reached another final in 2021 with FC Barcelona. A two-time All-EuroLeague First Team selection, he is the EuroLeague all-time assists leader as well as the competition's all-time steals leader. Calathes represents the Hellenic national basketball team internationally, and won a bronze medal at EuroBasket 2009.
Early life
His father started the Orlando Raptors, where he won several AAU Championships. He attended Lake Howell High School in Winter Park, Florida, and graduated as the leading high school basketball scorer in Seminole County history.[https://web.archive.org/web/20080629052738/http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/sports_highschool_varsity/boys_basketball/index.html Orlando Sentinel - Central Florida Varsity the Blog: Boys Basketball archives.] He teamed with future Florida Gator Chandler Parsons, future VCU Ram Joey Rodriguez, to help Lake Howell to a 31–3 record, and a state championship in 2007. At Lake Howell, Calathes twice won the Florida Mr. Basketball award, placing him on a long list of NBA players who have won that award, including Vince Carter, Amar'e Stoudemire, Brandon Knight, and Austin Rivers.[https://archive.today/20120905060236/http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/2009-06-09/sports/uf_1_calathes-greece-nba Former Gator basketball player Nick Calathes has a lucrative future mapped out]
College career
Calathes accepted an athletic scholarship to attend the University of Florida, where he played for coach Billy Donovan's Florida Gators men's basketball team from 2007 to 2009.

He was a first-team All-Southeastern Conference (SEC) selection in 2009, and he was the only player in the nation to average better than 15.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 6.0 assists per game. Calathes broke the Florida school records for assists and assists per game in each of his first two years, totaling 221 as a freshman (6.1 assists per game), and 231 (6.4 assists per game) as a sophomore.

On May 23, 2009, Calathes announced that he would bypass the NBA to play in the Greek Basket League. He agreed to terms with the elite EuroLeague club Panathinaikos Athens. The three-year deal paid Calathes around €2.4 million net income, in addition to providing him with a home, car, and endorsements, making for a total package commensurate with what the NBA rookie salary scale provided an early lottery selection.{{Cite web |url=http://www.gainesville.com/article/20090523/ARTICLES/905239929/1136/SPORTS?Title=Calathes-to-play-in-Greece |title=Gainesville.com Calathes To Play In Greece. |access-date=May 24, 2009 |archive-date=February 22, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120222061511/http://www.gainesville.com/article/20090523/ARTICLES/905239929/1136/SPORTS?Title=Calathes-to-play-in-Greece |url-status=dead }} Despite his commitment to play in Greece, he was still selected in the second round of the 2009 NBA draft by the Minnesota Timberwolves. He was then traded to the Dallas Mavericks for a 2010 second-round draft pick and cash.
