She Was Named After a Basketball Player

If you're wondering where "Cazzie" came from, the name was actually inspired by an NBA star. "I was named after a basketball player on the Knicks," she told Coveteur during a June 2017 interview. "My dad is that much of a Knicks fan that he had to give me the craziest name ever." Her namesake? Cazzie Russell, who won an NBA championship with the Knicks in 1970.
