The Australian national basketball team has been one of the more impressive teams at this year's Olympics. They have won all of their games so far outside of their matchup against Team USA, which was a very close game only decided in the last few minutes. The Aussies are now in the semifinals and have emerged as one of the favorites to finish with at least a silver medal.
One of the key players the team has is San Antonio Spurs‘ point guard Patty Mills. The 28 year old has been very instrumental in providing leadership and scoring when needed for his home country. He has also been shooting very accurately from three-point range in the tournament, making 17 threes in five games played.
He may be one of the most intimidating players in Rio now, but as seen in a video uploaded by two comedians from Australia, Hamish and Andy for Fair and Reasonable Sporting Challenge, he wasn't quite intimidating. They challenged the 6-foot guard to a shootout in which shot the ball 41 times to Mills' 10 to see who could make more.
It's nice to see this side of Mills, relaxed and laughing around. In the semifinals this coming Friday, we'll definitely see a more serious Mills his with game-face on once again as the Boomers attempt to make it to the gold medal match on Sunday.
