“when you’re around the game enough, you understand when you see someone with the spirit of gratitude and appreciation for every moment they get to hoop. you get the seriousness they take with their work, and you can’t fake that no matter how talented you are or how many highlights i saw in high school. even as a high schooler, you were always polite, treated people well, and never wasted anybody’s time.”

Steph Curry on why he chose to take Azzi under his wing:
“You were one of the most talented hoopers we had seen but how you handle things on & off the court matters more than anything. The idea that no matter what comes your way you’re gonna figure it out…no matter if it was an injury, bad game, tough loss or bad game you’re gonna show up. We felt that from the jump, and it’s pretty much gone exactly as expected. Your ability to figure out whatever the challenge.”
