Despite Kyrie Irving’s absence, health and safety protocols ravaging the team, and key players such as Joe Harris and Nic Claxton missing extended periods of time, the Brooklyn Nets are sitting atop the Eastern Conference with a 23-9 record.
Overcoming all of these obstacles has not been easy, but a certain Australian transplant has certainly helped Brooklyn achieve the success they’ve had so far. That person — more a force of nature — is Patty Mills. The Australian deadeye is averaging a career-high 14.4 points per game on a career-best 44.1 3-point percentage. At the age of 33, Mills is undoubtedly having the best year of his career, as he’s on pace to make around 270 big ones from beyond the arc!
