== Early life ==
Ike was born on January 14, 1991 in Boston, Massachusetts as the youngest of four children of Ada and Bennet Azotam. He has two brothers, Dozie and Uchenna, and a sister, Adaorah. Azotam's parents both moved from Nigeria to the United States at about 20 years old for a better life.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://teamnigeriabasketball.com/ikechukwu-azotam-proving-i-belong/ )〕 Dozie played American football for the Georgetown Hoyas and is a member of the school's African-American Advisory Board (AAAB).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://alumni.georgetown.edu/ccg/ccg_5.html )〕 Unchenna and Adaorah attended Georgetown as well, leading Ike to consider joining the same school.〔 The family lived on the south end of Roxbury, a neighborhood in Boston, on 1350 Tremont St. Their house was located very close to the Reggie Lewis Track and Athletic Center.〔
Ike began playing basketball in fifth grade, but began taking it more seriously once he went through a growth spurt heading into ninth grade.〔 Growing up, he often walked from his home to a nearby YMCA facility to practice. Azotam supposedly made his first slam dunk his first at the age of 15, a moment that he would remember for the rest of his life. Despite repeatedly performed the same move, but failed to do so when he called his friends to watch him. However, in the summer, he grew four inches and was eventually able to consistently dunk the ball. Azotam also liked to play with Dozie, who was seven years older and playing college football at around the same time. His mother said, "You would have to ask him to take out the trash, clean the dishes and clean his room, but you never had to ask him to play basketball."〔
