Takes his fitness and diet seriously, think his wife is in the nutrition field and always presents in excellent condition and made him a favourite of coaches.
Not to mention that Benjamin Button Pendlebury shows no sign of slowing down. To think him Daisy and Murphy all went same draft.
Spent a lot of time with Melbourne United during the last NBL season observing Dean Vickerman coaching. I saw him at a few games down near the bench and he is setting himself up for a AFL coaching career sooner than later. Loves his basketball and doesnt have to be asked twice about joining in a game either and still fancies himself as a player.....all of which probably adds to his ability to still keep playing at a high level.
