Only you
Before the championships, before UConn, before marriage and baby Harper-there was 2017. Paige Bueckers, 15, and Azzi Fudd, 14, were two of the brightest young stars in women's basketball, thrown together on Team USA's U16 squad. The problem? They couldn't stand each other. Paige thought Azzi was too serious, too polished, too perfect. Azzi thought Paige was cocky, loud, and reckless. But traveling the world together meant there was no escape. Through long practices, curfews, bus rides, and the pressure of wearing red, white, and blue, their rivalry slowly began to shift. Enemies became teammates. Teammates became friends. And maybe-just maybe-something deeper was already burning between them, even if they didn't have words for it yet.
