Stephen Curry Plans to Mentor and Train “Basketball’s Next Big Star”

As of today, Warriors guard Stephen Curry is one of the best there is in the NBA. After finishing with his best season in terms of points last year, the 33-year-old is currently striking gold in the 2021-22 season too. The only difference is, this year, he has quality backup. Even in the absence of Klay Thompson, Curry and his teammates like Jordan Poole & Andrew Wiggins have been putting up insane numbers. As a result, anybody who gets to learn from the best is hugely fortunate.

Over the past years, Golden State’s exclusive #30 has been building his brand. The Curry brand aims to break barriers in the business field and is growing with every passing day. Stephen himself admitted to drawing inspiration from the Jordan brand, which is why it comes as no surprise that his brand is excelling. And now, ‘SC30 Inc.’ is set to sign a college prodigy, with the aim to take her to new heights and fulfill her true potential.

Stephen Curry to assist and mentor college star

A star from Virginia, young Azzi Fudd has taken college basketball by storm. At the age of 19, she has become a talented guard, and the future is bright for her. Playing for the University of Connecticut, Fudd averages close to 8 points in the ongoing season. In fact, she had the privilege of meeting the legendary Kobe Bryant a few years ago, owing to her impeccable performances. Aside from the Mamba, she has developed close contact with Curry too.

Curry met Fudd in 2018, at a basketball camp. Ever since then, the duo has bonded and become good friends. According to a latest report, the 7-time All-star has sighted enormous potential in the youngster. Therefore, he has signed Azzi Fudd to a NIL contract. From now on, Fudd will be represented and trained by the Curry brand. He plans to sponsor her as well as mentor her personally. Additionally, Curry has recognized her to be ‘the next face of women’s basketball’.
