Spurs fan favorite thrives for Australia in matchup against Wembanyama

Over the years, numerous players who have left the San Antonio Spurs have retained the admiration of their fans. Even though these players are no longer part of the team, supporters continue to wish them success in their careers. However, few are held in as much esteem and admiration as Patty Mills.

The veteran Australian maintains a special connection with the Silver and Black organization. Spurs fans remain attentive to his achievements, not only because he played a crucial role in the team's last championship but also because he consistently demonstrated his love for San Antonio off the court.

Mills continues to share his knowledge with future generations, as evidenced by his recent interaction with Victor Wembanyama, the rising star of the NBA, during a friendly match between France and Australia in preparation for the Paris Olympic Games.

Patty versus Wembanyama was a fun matchup for Spurs fans

While the French team is anticipated to be a formidable obstacle for the United States national team in the upcoming Olympics, as this squad aims to surpass the silver medal they secured three years ago, it was Mills' team that delivered the first blow, showing how complicated the Aussies will also be during this summer fair.

Although Wembanyama continues to showcase his formidable talent, Mills proved that age is no barrier to excellence. At 35, he scored 24 points, leading the Australians to a thrilling 83-82 victory. This game offered a glimpse of the exciting competition fans can expect in Paris next week.

Finally, Mills' enduring affection for San Antonio was evident once again when, before the game, he praised Wembanyama's talent and expressed his hope that the Spurs franchise would hang more championship banners following the arrival of the French prodigy.
