Anyone seen his first playoff bucket on the video? His shot was incredibly weird..His legs were facing the baseline just about LOL.
Mills is special..Love the kid. I saw him blow past Dragic, too bad he missed the layup. But still Dragic gave him a cushion, and Mills still blew by him.
Mills--Reckon hel be up there with one of the quickest in league?

kad..really thats a silly statement since most ppl are saying hes bloody quick, so the entire NBA is going to look stupidly slow by someone who well isnt in the league yet...
And does anyone else get a feeling of a bit of man love for Mills by the vid maker??

lol i wouldn't call it manlove, more like glorifying a pretty impressive moment for Aussie hoops seeing a 6 foot Aussie getting minutes in the worlds top league.. giving some respect that most media outlets in Australia didn't give.
glad you guys liked the clip.

Gaze didn't play playoffs from memory, was not on the roster.
I think it was Schenscher actually.

kad, after Mills dropped 20 points on the USA in the Olympic game, Chris Paul said the following about Mills:
"I think I read somewhere that he's faster than me," Chris Paul said. "Probably right, and I'm one of the fastest guys in the NBA."
Chris Paul is bloody fast, and you can imagine he has played some fast guys, thus its fair to say Mills is lightning quick. The newspaper atricle went on to say more about Mills:
" NBA scouts love his quickness, which Paul likened to speedsters Monta Ellis, Leandro Barbosa, Tony Parker and T.J. Ford. Mills, who also ran track in high school, has said he clocks a sub-50-second time in the 400 meters"
