Azzi Fudd classifies Paige Bueckers as annoying best friend
UConn Huskies stars Paige Bueckers and Fudd share a unique bond, one marked by friendship and fierce competition. Despite being teammates for three years, their time on the court together has been limited due to injuries.
In a clip from "Overtime" released four years ago, Fudd shared insights into their dynamic, describing Bueckers as "one of the most annoying people ever" and comparing their relationship to having "a thousand siblings."
Their friendship, Fudd noted, is filled with ups and downs, often turning into competitions over anything. Bueckers, equally candid, mentioned:
"I know how to get under her skin, talk a little trash. Off the court, we joke a lot."
Their healthy and playful rivalry started five years ago at a USA basketball camp, where Fudd allegedly underestimated Bueckers.
Their bond solidified over time, with Bueckers even convincing Fudd to join her at UConn. However, injuries have plagued both players. Bueckers sat out two seasons because of ACL tears, while Fudd missed a total of 33 games during her freshman and sophomore years due to an ACL injury and medial meniscal tears.
