Reginald Thomas II /San Antonio Spurs"He's been a leader, a professional, a great teammate," Pop said. "All around, he's been one of the really wonderful Spurs over the years."
Mills went on to say that one of the reasons he plays his "heart out" is to honor those who "paved the way."
"It's a small thing, but an important way of showing a sign of respect," he added. "Very grateful."
Mills started his Spurs career in 2012 and is the only current player that was a part of the 2014 championship team. He scored 10 points in his 600th game.
