One in Azzillion: Jordan Brand Celebrates Number 1 Draft Pick Azzi Fudd

The Dallas Wings are flying high into the new season. Not only is Paige Bueckers ready to lead the squad with more experience, but the Texas squad is also adding the number one pick from last night’s WNBA draft, Azzi Fudd, to the team.

To celebrate Fudd’s top spot in the stacked WNBA Draft, her shoe sponsor, Jordan Brand, immediately dropped a new ad campaign featuring Fudd in a Jumpman necklace peaking over the rims of her sunglasses at the camera between the tagline “One In Azzillion.”

Fudd led the UConn Huskies to the Final Four this month and was a consensus for the number one pick in predictions and mock drafts. Still, predictions and the real thing are never the same, and when Fudd stepped up to the stage to hold up her Wings jersey, the real journey had only just begun.

"I'm excited to play again with Paige," Fudd said after her name was called. "She's an incredible person, an incredible player. It's going to be a lot of fun.” The two did a lot of winning together at UConn, so it will be fun to watch them reunite on the WNBA court, where Fudd will no doubt debut plenty of Jordan PEs and heat.
