Won’t someone please talk to Patty Mills?

by Micah Hart

Patty Mills of the Portland Trail Blazers seems like a very nice guy. He’s got that Aussie charm and confidence that seems to be instilled in the entire continent at birth.

That friendliness may play well in the Pacific Northwest, but how would it play on the mean streets of Chicago? Let’s find out:

Ouch, babe. I really felt for Mills there — all he wants is to ask a few simple questions! What happened to good ole’ American friendliness and good ole’ American insane thirst to be on TV?

As I said, Mills is a likable chap (and not for nothing, still a pretty nice prospect in my opinion), and I hope his Chicago experience won’t deter him from making future episodes of Patty Cakes. But I’d definitely recommend losing the hoodie. It’s got a little too much unabomber feel to it.
