Patty was born into a family that was surrounded by basketball. His parents founded Shadows Basketball in the early 80’s, a local Canberra club created to provide a sense of community, familiarity, and opportunities for Indigenous people through basketball. Today, Patty plays with the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA and is the only Indigenous Australian to win an NBA Championship (2013/14 season). He is also a triple Olympian (Beijing ’08, London ’12, Rio de Janeiro ’16) and currently represents the Australian Boomers.
