Three-time NBA champion Luc Longley believes Patty Mills deserves to be a starting point guard at San Antonio - or elsewhere.Mills, a back-up to Tony Parker at the Spurs, has been one of the standouts in the mens basketball competition at the Rio Olympics.Not only has he been Australias top point scorer, he is second in the tournament for points per game with an average of 21.2.He banked a game-high 24 points in the Boomers 90-64 demolition of European powerhouse Lithuania to secure them a spot in the semifinals and a chance to break their Olympic medal duck.Mills sunk five of 11 from the three-point line and missed just one inside.You get him looks and its money, said Boomers assistant coach Longley.The shots hes missing are the tough shots at the end of the clock.Mills has proved his worth over the years, but Longley believes he has well and truly stamped his mark at the Rio Games.Theres no doubt hes a first team point guard or two man somewhere in the NBA, he said.Hes just been in a very deep and talented situation at San Antonio.Hes very potent for us. He makes a lot of room for the big guys by being so potent.Mills is the man behind setting Australias goal of winning gold in Brazil.His leadership on and off the court has been inspiring, according to coach Andrej Lemanis, and is driven by his desire to proudly represent his country and heritage on the world stage.The thing I appreciate the most with him - everyone sees his offence but hes really got into his defence at this tournament, said Lemanis.Hes prepared to sacrifice for the good of the team.We all see when he scores, but he goes through the video and he sets screens to get other people open.Hes prepared to do work for others as others are prepared to do work for him. Thats what makes the team hard to guard. Nike Vapormax Clearance .ca. Hey Kerry, big fan of yours, just finished reading your book.

JOHNS, N. ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates -- The strain of fighting against Lewis Hamilton for the past three years will have sapped the strength of Formula One champion Nico Rosberg.That verdict comes from a man who knows Rosberg better than most -- his father Keke Rosberg, the 1982 F1 champion.He has a lot of seasons behind him and Im sure that, especially, the last three seasons have taken a high toll, Keke Rosberg said in the F1 paddock at Abu Dhabi where his son clinched his first title on Sunday after being runner-up to Hamilton in the previous two years.Theyve been very hard seasons, because youre fighting for the championship for three years in a row, constantly, Keke Rosberg said. Its much tougher than trying to finish sixth. I dont know how much its taken out of him.Asked what he thinks his son will do next, the 67-year-old Keke Rosberg joked maybe he retires tomorrow.Actually, he expects his son to continue for a few more years yet.Theres quite a lot of mileage left in him, he said.Next season promises to be an intense battle as Rosberg defends his title and Hamilton tries to wrest it back. Furthermore, the 19-year-old Red Bull driver Max Verstappen will be pushing them hard, as will four-time F1 champion Sebastian Vettel -- whose Ferrari team ended the season without a race win.If you dont raise your game, you freeze ... You have a lot of talented people here who put in a big effort, Keke Rosberg said as he stood outside the Mercedes motorhome.The level is always high in Formula One. Look at Max, he is the teammate of (Daniel) Ricciardo. Or Sebastian, he is the teammate of (Kimi) Raikkonen, he continued. On that level, when you take the top three teams, all of them have been world champions already, or at Red Bull theyre all young talents. Thats the level we have.The hallmark of Rosbergs title-winning campaign was a steely resolve under Hamiltons pressure, allied to high levels of consistenncy.ddddddddddddYou never have a 100 percent season. Youre not going to win all the races. Its a bit like golf, Keke Rosberg said. When you hit the ball behind the tree, you have to recover from there. So even on a bad day, a golf pro plays a bad shot and recovers. Thats the difference. Its the performance on a bad day, those points count.He was partly speaking from his own experience, having won the 1982 title despite winning only one of the 15 races that season.Seeing his son win the title as the sun was setting in Abu Dhabi on Sunday evening was a strange feeling for Keke Rosberg.After the last two laps I was quite relieved, to be honest, Keke Rosberg said. I was a little bit nervous.Father and son were different kinds of drivers in different eras.Rosberg Sr. was a dashing driver who loved to bash his car around the track in an occasionally reckless manner, while Rosberg Jr. is far more meticulous and methodical.But the mutual admiration shines through.For me its the story of father and a son, purely. I could have been a dentist, makes no difference, Keke Rosberg said. Im happy for my son and thats it. What I did is so long ago. It was a happy time, but it doesnt carry you 30 years after.Keke Rosberg secured his title driving for the Williams team yet only won five races in his career, while 31-year-old Nico Rosberg already has 23 wins -- albeit in an ultra-dominant Mercedes car.He is (a champion). He is standing on his own two feet. Dont forget, I did like 114 Grand Prix in my life and hes now done 200 or something, Keke Rosberg said.So his level of experience and knowledge of the sport is so much higher than mine was. Also engineering, they are so much deeper in there than we were, its like a completely different world.We knew we had four wheels and thats it. ' ' '
