Patty Mills has always been the perfect little brother in the Spurs’ family.
At 6 feet 185 pounds, he’s the smallest guy on the team. He’s also the most visibly positive and playful, as shown through his unmatched towel-waving prowess.
When he signed with the silver and black in the summer of 2012, he was known for his energy and encouragement from the bench, which he warmed with great passion in those early years. In 2012-13, he’d occasionally put up double digits in scoring—including his record-setting 34-point outburst against the Golden State Warriors— but he wasn’t anything special.
