Mills received an extra honour pre game when the Spurs asked him to be the clubs spokesman as they honoured US civil rights icon Martin Luther King Junior ahead of Mondays annual public holiday in his memory. Considering African-American players are almost always the spokesman for each NBA club, Mills was chosen due to his passion for indigenous Australians and Eddie Mabo. It was brought to me in a way that we know you are so passionate about Eddie Mabo and Indigenous Australians and how similar Martin Luther King is to Eddie Mabo so would you like to address the crowd - I said no question, Ill do it, Mills said. theage.au/sport/basketball/patty-mills-aron-baynes-dante-exum-and-joe-ingles-write-new-page-in-australias-nba-history-20150119-12td87.html
