Katie Fudd hilariously embarrasses daughter Azzi Fudd as UConn star fails to match her mom’s skill
UConn superstar Azzi Fudd, who's gearing up for the final season of her collegiate career, grabbed headlines for a photoshoot, accompanied by her mother, Katie Fudd.
The duo, in the La France photoshoot on Monday, were asked to pose with basketballs in the shoot. Katie threw a casual challenge towards Azzi as she spun the ball on her fingers with ease.
Meanwhile, Azzi had her fair share of struggles in spinning the ball on her fingers but eventually got it right after a few attempts. Overall, it was a hilariously embarrassing moment for the UConn superstar as the duo broke into laughter.
Interestingly, Azzi Fudd's parents, Tim and Katie were both basketball players. They played at the collegiate level and then went on to get married on a basketball court.
Katie was an impressive player, turning up for NC State and Georgetown at the college level before getting drafted by the Sacramento Monarchs in the 2001 WNBA Draft. But her career was cut short due to injuries, and she shifted to coaching.
Azzi Fudd's parents have been a big source of motivation to do well. Both attend most of Azzi's college games for UConn, cheering for their young daughter.
