There's been a lot of excitement in the whole Howie Games team, the wider operation here, because we are welcoming a young man that represents his country wonderfully on the world stage. He's dominating the NBA. He plays for his country, and he's a larger-than-life figure, and we are proud in Melbourne to call him one of our own. Josh Giddey, welcome to Howie Games. How are you, mate?
Thanks for having me, Howie. I'm doing good. I'm excited to be here.
We have got so much to talk about, but as we're recording this, it'll come out a bit later, but I'm off to the footy tonight, Hawthorne Collingwood. I get the opportunity to call it. We spent some time in a box watching Carlton last year, which nearly destroyed my wife and Dave Hughes because they lost again. But you have... A love for football. Yeah. I saw it in the box.
What inspired Josh Giddey to pursue basketball over football?
We've got mutual mates, Luke Tunnicliffe, that you go to the footy with a lot. You love the footy. And he tells me you know more about the game than anyone else he knows.
Yeah. No, I do know a lot about it. And obviously I grew up, you know, playing it until I was about 15, 16. I grew up my whole life, you know, watching Buddy Franklin was my favorite player when I was a kid. Are you a Hawthorne supporter? I was a Hawks man growing up my whole life. What? Yeah. What happened? I didn't. I'm not going to say I switched, but I became a Collingwood fan just because I became close with Tommy Mitchell and the Dacos brothers. And I just became mates with them. So I used to watch a lot of their games. And then I started going to a lot of Pies games. So naturally started following them a lot more. But, you know, footy, I'll literally go to any game. Marvel, the G, Interstate. Like we were flying to Adelaide for the prelim finals last year.
So I'll go watch any game. But, yeah, always been a big footy fan. Love it. Watch as much as I can.
So it's a Hawthorne v. Collingwood tonight. So are you going back? to your roots as a young man, or are you going, because Tommy Mitch doesn't play for the Pirates anymore, obviously the Dacos boys do.
