Stephen Curry may be known for hitting clutch three-pointers, but even he couldn’t help but admire the sharp skills of a young reporter who’s making waves—14-year-old Jazzy Guerra from Bushwick, New York. In a recent interview, Jazzy didn’t hold back, throwing Curry tough questions about “defining expectations” and “using height to his advantage.” The 2-time MVP was so impressed he shared the moment on his Instagram story with the text, “She’s goin’ places!”
Jazzy, who began her journey at just nine with a karaoke mic and an iPad, has since interviewed a roster of stars that could rival any seasoned journalist, from Jay-Z to Cardi B, and even the legendary Gregg Popovich. Known for catching celebs off guard with her smart, refreshing questions, Jazzy brings out a candid side in her subjects that’s a rare find in standard sports journalism. And for Curry, it’s all about giving back to underrepresented communities—a passion he shares with the young reporter. Through his Underrated Golf Tour, Curry aims to make golf more accessible for Black and Hispanic athletes and even helped fund Howard University’s golf program, keeping the spirit of opportunity alive.
But Curry’s talent on the green isn’t just symbolic; he’s a scratch golfer, regularly shooting par or better—a feat only about 2% of golfers achieve. From coaching by Butch Harmon, golf’s top mentor, to winning the 2023 American Century Championship with a jaw-dropping eagle, Curry balances his NBA fame and golf passion like a pro.
Jazzy Guerra’s interview with Curry was a career highlight, but it’s likely just the beginning for this young star in the making. With Curry’s stamp of approval, Jazzy is blazing a trail that may redefine sports journalism for the next generation.
