I am in the middle of preparing for\u00a0whatever comes next. I&#8217;ll never say\u00a0never, but it has been a big part of my\u00a0life for\u00a0over 16 years, and\u00a0I think we&#8217;ll see when we\u00a0get to cross that bridge. The real answer is I&#8217;m\u00a0not sure.<\/a> I&#8217;m in a very special\u00a0moment in time right now. It&#8217;s the reason that I&#8217;m here. But we&#8217;ll see. It could bethat people could hear\u00a0this and be like, \u2018What the hell is this\u00a0guy talking about?\u2018 But it is the truth. I&#8217;ve actually just had\u00a0our very first child a few weeks ago. It has been um\u00a0the best decision that I&#8217;ve ever made to\u00a0step away from\u00a0basketball to be a present father\u00a0here. And I&#8217;ve made a lot of decent\u00a0decisions in my life. This one, by far,\u00a0has been the best, to be able to be present and start\u00a0my little family. That&#8217;s the reason\u00a0that I&#8217;m here and not playing in the\u00a0NBA. But it was an important\u00a0decision, and it was actually an easy\u00a0decision, too.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=iTODxB9QyQc&amp;t=3310s\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:YouTube;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Will Patrick Mills ever play in\u00a0the NBA again?\u00a0Patty Mills: Great question.
