In order to understand what the Australian national team truly means to Patty Mills, you first have to recognise what Australia means to Patrick Mills. “I’ll always say this: my name is Patrick Mills, I’m a Kokatha man from South Australia, and I’m a Naghiralgal and Dauareb-Meriam man of the Torres Strait Islands,” Mills says, almost rehearsed. “My connections and roots to this land of Australia — the sea, the reefs, the sky, the stars — come from a time and place that existed long before basketball was invented, and definitely long before the Boomers program was created. I always like to come back to that. That’s my connection to everything, that my passion comes from my people, and what they mean to this country.”
