As I continue to focus on becoming the best player and student I can be while in college, I also look forward to broadening my understanding of business and life beyond basketball. This partnership with Steph and his SC30 team will help me do that. I'm really excited about everything we'll do together in the future."

Stephen Curry also expressed excitement and confidence in bringing Azzi on to the brand, saying:
"Azzi Fudd is the vest choice to start a brand relationship like this because she is the next face of women's basketball and has been part of SC30 Inc. and the Curry Brand family since she was an invitee to the All-American Camp," Curry said.
"For me, this is the right time because I have identified the platforms that I have, aligning purpose over profit, and the ability to collaborate with the right partners for the right opportunities. I want to be able to unlock that for Azzi, and for other talented athletes and influencers that see the world the same way I do."
