Off The Court
In addition to all his achievements on the court, Patty has always been an excellent leader and advocate for Indigenous communities. In 2021, he was awarded the NBA Cares Community Assist Award for his efforts to improve opportunities for Aboriginal youth in Australia. Only a year later, he received an AM (Member of the Order of Australia) for his service to basketball, and his charitable initiatives for Indigenous communities. These are significant awards, yet they are only two examples of a very long list of achievements on Patty’s CV.
Needless to say, Patty is one of our personal heroes. His passion and commitment to the game as well as social justice for Aboriginal peoples proves he is not only a fantastic player, but a great person too. A force both on and off the court, we’re certain Patty will continue to inspire young minds and players for decades to come.
