This week on Fudd Around and Find Out, Azzi and Ashanti are joined by none other than four-time NBA champion and one of the greatest shooters of all time, Stephen Curry. Stephen and Azzi reflect on the relationship they’ve built since her very first Curry Camp invite back in 2018—and how that moment helped shape Azzi’s basketball journey.

Stephen opens up about what stood out to him about Azzi from day one, why he believed in her so early, and the qualities that separate great players from everyone else. The two also dive deep into shooting mechanics, confidence, training routines, rookie year lessons, leadership, and the mental side of becoming a pro. Plus, Stephen shares stories from his NBA Draft night, early struggles in Golden State, and the veterans who helped shape him into the leader he is today.
