Not much that we didn't know about Patty, but sharing anyway.
For Mills, it is an all-encompassing philosophy that governs everything San Antonio has achieved over the past three decades, and hopes to attain in the future.
“It means understanding what has been built to get to this point,” says Mills. “All the hard work, the tears, the sweat, the sacrifice and the loyalty to be in an organisation that is known right throughout the world in any sport.”
“We have had great leaders, great coaches and great players that have led that way. Now that we are in that point where there is a transition between that prior era to this new era that we are transitioning to, it is about teaching that culture to these new guys so that they know this is how we do it here and that we aren’t going to change for any player, because we haven’t done that in the past.”
“I breathe, eat and sleep the Spurs way and Spurs culture,” says Mills. “Having done that so consistently for eight years, it is a part of who I am now and understanding that you play for more than just the team; you understand the legacy that you are playing for.”The Spurs aren’t just Mills’ employer, and they aren’t just his franchise. The bond runs much deeper. After spending the majority of this decade in San Antonio, Mills has come to signify the organisation and the very best of what it stands for. “I see Patty talking about the purpose of the Spurs uniform and being the gatekeeper to their program,” says Brett Brown, a former Spurs assistant coach. “That the jersey is deeper and bigger than us, and when I read that, it is very Patty.”
Mills speaks freely on a desire to ensure his Spurs are always running correct offensive sets, also the constant communication needed to guarantee correct defensive schemes are being deployed at all times. It doesn’t matter whether he is actually on the court or not, these thoughts never leave his mind. Maybe that is a hidden benefit of those early days in San Antonio. Living life on the bench, where playing time was scant, Mills observed the Spurs quest for integrated basketball nirvana. It’s glaringly clear that those lessons help subsidise his impact in 2019.
“You have to learn the Spurs way,” says Mills. “You have to understand it and make yourself fit within in, that has always been how we’ve handled things here.”

Jesus Christ. Vomit inducing. 8 more years I guess.
Who's going to Mills' jersey retirement ceremony in 2024
Some people dont undetsta you cant replace leadership.... I use to hate Mills after his shoulder injury. But he's way more important than his towel waving days.
Spiritual Leader... for all those Moral Victories.
What a load of ! Never seen anyone get a free pass more then our spurs jesus patty mills
I understand Mills is overpaid and not our best player by a long sight. But mocking him is pure asshole.
Holy ! The Spurs really are a cult.
Who wouldn't love the organisation that gave you a 50 million dollar contract while you're a back up PG who's only skill is shooting 3s?
You really have to hand it to Patty. Dude knows the sure fire way to get another bloated contract from the front office.
this fkn clown is nothing more then a teachers pet with his corporate culture bull
waving a towel every fkn spurs play
first man at the scene to help a player up if they on the floor
his not even funni in those HEB ads, its like his taken over tim, ginoboli for those ads...
pop loves that
Safe to say Patty is going nowhere, tbh..
He is going to be the Spurs' Udonis Haslem/Nick Collison and I wouldn't be surprised if he gets his jersey retired.
While Patty is undeniably overpaid based solely on his on-court contributions, I'm glad that there's a player on the team who can carry forward the knowledge of the championship generation and bring it to the current squad. It would have been a shame if that connection were broken less than five years after the most recent le.
If he gets traded will he still say all this stuff about the team? Lol.
On the real Mills has a lot of holes in his game but he is visually one of the leaders and locker room glue guys. I would rather have him playing as opposed to Forbes because he is more sure handed with his dribble and doesn't get as lost on defense like Forbes does.
If he didn't have the contract he has I'm sure many here wouldn't have a problem with him and that's understandable because he is over paid
Any hint as to why PATFO valued Mills' corporate knowledge so much but not Danny Green's.
u notice some of the younger players are also waving the towel like this kent on the sidelines, just to get pops attention for minutes for being teachers pet?
One of the last great Championship playing club men left in the league tbh, unlike the current gen of mouth guard throwing, ref screaming, shimmy dancing, gm playing, coach sacking, game sitting, social media ass clowns stars gumming up the league all wanting max contracts when they all worth 30c in the $.
Exactly! we didnt have to give up green
the only corporate knowledge danny green has is the knowledge of the best clubs in SA
I don't get how the same people can say Gasol's negative energy being gone helps the team but then mock the idea that Mills' positive energy is good. Either you think the chemistry thing is overrated or you don't. You can't flip flop back and forth.
Didn’t bother covering Wade on his half court shot showing us all that valued leadership and corporate knowledge he brings
Fat aboriginal kent is good at teaching others where to be to bail him out on defense, and that's it. Disgusting fluff thread
Pop and his Thank-you contracts...has it ever paid off?
