He is one of Australia's biggest sporting stars. From suburban Melbourne courts to the bright lights of the NBA.

From idolising Buddy Franklin, following Hawthorn religiously, and even taking a year away from basketball to focus on football, to the decision that ultimately changed his life forever.

The Chicago Bulls star then takes us inside one of the defining moments of his career, his unforgettable game-winning buzzer beater over LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers. In a rare breakdown, Josh talks through the play, what he was thinking in the moment, why the shot was perhaps easier than people realise, and the surreal experience of seeing LeBron standing between him and a career highlight.

He opens up about getting drafted into the NBA, adapting to life in America, representing Australia on the world stage, and the lessons learned from making it to the very top of professional basketball.

This is a brilliant look inside the life of an Aussie thriving on the biggest basketball stage in the world.

Game 433. We go inside one of the biggest weeks in football history.

From the wall-to-wall media frenzy, Monday at the MCG, the morning of The Record and then THE DAY... this is the build-up you never saw coming. School pick-ups. Midweek netball runs. The beautiful chaos of normal life unfolding in the middle of a historic week. But as the noise grows louder, Pendles narrows his focus. Back into game mode. Back into routine.

Then comes the record breaking game itself. The stars descend. The atmosphere. The Magpies are pushed to the limit in a heart-stopping thriller… and somehow hold on as history is made.

It's behind-closed-doors moments from one of the greatest careers the game has ever seen.

The record is broken. And it’s gold.

To mark the historic milestone in history, Elite Estate Wine proudly presents the SP433 Record Breaker Pinot Noir – a limited-edition celebrating Scott Pendlebury as he surpasses the all-time games record. Get in and get a bottle today!

Three of footy’s most exciting First Nations stars come together for a special edition of The Howie Games celebrating Sir Doug Nicholls Round.

This is a conversation built on moments, connections and stories. From family ties and cultural pride to the influence of mentors, teammates and communities - and no shortage of CYRIL! The boys reflect on what it means to represent First Nations people on the AFL stage and why their impact stretches far beyond football.

In a powerful and at times hilarious chat, they open up on identity, belonging, growing up with the game, and the joy and responsibility that comes with inspiring the next generation.

Because First Nations excellence is more than football ability — it’s resilience, culture, connection and community. And when these boys shine, the game becomes stronger, richer and more meaningful for everyone.

This is a highlight of the Howie Games so far!
