Kobe would've been proud of Azzi Fudd

Azzi Fudd's come a long way.

Before all the hype, Azzi was first discovered by Kobe Bryant who invited her to train with him and Gigi at Mamba Academy.

As most participants trained with the coaches and other invitees, Kobe worked personally with Fudd who saw a lot of potential in her game.

Fast forward today, Fudd already has a resume that most female hoopers can dream of.

  • NCAA Most Outstanding Player of the Tournament

Dallas reporter's story is proof parasocial WNBA relationships are going too far

Grant Afseth covered the Dallas Wings and other teams for Ballislife. He is stepping away from WNBA coverage after receiving messages threatening his family’s safety, sent by someone who identified themselves as an Azzi Fudd fan and was angry about his reporting.

Parasocial relationships are one-sided by definition. A player can know she has fans, can meet them, can answer them online, and none of that makes it mutual. Social media compresses the distance enough that following someone’s content starts to feel like knowing them, and the feeling gets stronger the more of that content a person consumes.

That misplaced sense of relationship no longer stops at the athlete. It reaches reporters, staff, and anyone perceived as standing between the fan and the player, which is how a beat writer’s coverage becomes something worth threatening a family over. The motive behind the messages is still unknown, and it is not clear what the sender thought they were accomplishing.

What followed took a familiar shape. Sara Jane Gamelli, Afseth’s managing editor at Ballislife, publicly described him as thoroughly professional and as one of the few reporters covering the basketball without an agenda, after some online implied he was leveraging the threats for his own benefit. Colleagues across women’s basketball media have backed him since. Afseth has moved on to writing about other teams and other leagues.
