From Jay Z, Cardi B, Shaquille O’Neal, Simu Liu, Nicki Minaj, Tom Holland, and Kendrick Lamar, to Ice-T, Common, Flavor Flav, and Michelle Obama, this is the range of the celebrities and household names, who’ve made their appearance on Jazzys World Tv. Jazzy Guerra is from Bushwick in New York. The young host was only 9 when she started doing interviews with her karaoke mic and iPad. After landing the legendary Gregg Popovich for an interview in 2020, she realized all she wanted to do was to be a reporter.
The latest guest to appear on this show is none other than America’s hoops favorite and recently crowned Olympic gold medal winner, Stephen Curry. So, we all know how much Curry adores golf. During his time off, all the Splash Brother likes to do is get to a fairway and start swinging. Recently the 4x champ was all the way in Idaho with Underrated Golf, one of his initiatives with KPMG, which is making golf accessible to every community.
On the green, 14-year-old Jazzy shocked the hooper with her set of questions about ‘defining expectations’ and using ‘height’ to his advantage. While the typical teen is busy with school and homework, Jazzy waits hours before school to interview big names in the entertainment and sports world. “I think that it’s really cool how they take time out of their busy schedule and out of their busy day just to talk to an 11-year-old little kid,” said Jazzy, speaking to the New York Times in 2022.

While the most popular TV show hosts follow a set-and-stone pattern of questions in interviews, celebrities tend to be more open when a 14-year-old kid interviews them. Why not? Even Stephen Curry found the young girl’s skills impressive. “She’s goin places!” read the overlaid text on the hooper’s Instagram story which featured his interview with Jazzy. Jazzy, with an already impressive portfolio of interviews, is for sure going places!
Stephen Curry’s undying love for the putting green with open skies
Curry needs no introduction, when he’s not in Blue and Gold, sinking threes, dribbling past his opponents under high-pressure situations, he likes to be on a golf course with open skies. It is no surprise that NBA stars like to play golf to blow off some steam, except Michael Jordan was probably as competitive in golf as he was in basketball! Wherever the Splash Brother’s obligations take him, the hooper likes to explore the lush golf courses around the country and beyond, whether he’d be vacationing or not.
Stephen Curry has been golfing since the age of 10 and is a scratch golfer, meaning he usually shoots par or better. To put that in perspective, only about 2% of golfers can achieve this!
What’s your perspective on:
Is Jazzy Guerra the future of sports journalism, or just a passing sensation?
Have an interesting take?
Considering his main job is being an NBA star, it’s a more than remarkable accomplishment. The 2-time MVP has also spent time being coached by Butch Harmon, considered the best golf coach in the world. “He’s an incredibly talented golfer, with tremendous, natural ability,” Harmon told NBA.com in July of 2023. “He played in a Web.Com event and shot 74-74, which is remarkable for an athlete from another sport. There’s nobody on the PGA Tour that could go play in an NBA game, I guarantee you.”
Stephen Curry himself being an underdog, who was ignored by coaches for being undersized, wants to give an opportunity to others who want to prove themselves. He has funded the Golf program at Howard University for 6 years to revive it after 40 years!

The hooper has also founded the Underrated Golf Tour, which focuses on providing players from the Black and Hispanic communities to go pro. Curry claimed victory at the 2023 American Century Championship with a dream-like final-hole eagle, capping a summer where his handicap reached as low as plus-3. When it comes to balancing skill and fame, he’s the top celebrity golfer.
