Official announcement! 36-year-old Mills officially serves as the general manager of the college men s basketball team, and his emotional voice triggers speculation on retirement

On June 10, 36-year-old Patty Mills officially served as the general manager of the college men's basketball team. He spoke out loudly and was extremely excited. Fans were hotly discussing that Mills was about to retire.

The University of Hawaii officially announced that Patty Mills, who has 16 years of NBA experience, won the championship with the San Antonio Spurs in 2014, and represented Australia in the Olympic Games five times, has been appointed as the general manager of the school's men's basketball team. This is a brand new position.

Head coach of the University of Hawaii Men's Basketball Team Eran Ganot said: Mills will assist the team in the development of student-athletes, recruitment, fundraising, and community participation. His experience and leadership will have a huge impact on our projects.

Mills himself said: I am very honored to be part of the University of Hawaii basketball program. I have a deep affection for this community and culture and I am extremely excited to be here to help young athletes grow.

Milles thanked Eran Ganot for his help in the interview, thanked Popovich for his influence on himself, and said frankly: He has brought me a lot of inspiration, and I have to thank him for many things.

Milles have basically lived in Hawaii for the past 10 years of offseason, and this land carries many special memories of their family.

Mills' position as general manager of the University of Hawaii men's basketball has led to speculation about retirement. American fans said: To be honest, I think this is a retirement statement; it sounds like he is going to retire. I wish him all the best anyway, but if I retire, I'm sorry he didn't join the Spurs for the last time.

However, Mills has announced his retirement, becoming another active NBA player who has transformed into management after Warriors superstar Stephen Curry (assistant general manager of Davidson College, alma mater).

Milles was the 55th pick in 2009 and played for the Trail Blazers, Spurs, Nets, Hawks, Heat, Jazz and Clippers in his 2016 NBA career. He played in a total of 921 regular season games, averaged 19.9 minutes per game, scored 8.7 points, 1.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists, and followed the Spurs to win the only NBA championship in his career in the 2013-14 season.
