Paige Bueckers' 2017 tweet congratulating Caitlin Clark for 6 goals goes viral [View all]
Paige Bueckers has been considered by many to be the most likely first-overall choice in the 2025 WNBA Draft for months. She stands out in the collegiate basketball scene thanks to her leadership, versatility, and ability to take over games. Interestingly, Bueckers shares a close bond with WNBA star Caitlin Clark. So much so that her tweet from 2017 has gone viral.
Close friends and rivals, Bueckers and Clark have competed together both internationally and on the tour circuit. Both of them have contributed to the growth of interest in women’s basketball and are regarded as role models. As for the tweet, Clark used to play soccer and basketball in her college days. Bueckers praised Clark on X as she wrote, “6 goals, Basketball or soccer? smh. That’s crazy.”
Bueckers is a talent that spans generations. The UConn standout is presently shooting an amazing 53.3% from the floor and averaging 18.7 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 4.8 assists per game. Her numbers have increased even more since she recovered from a small knee injury in January, especially in creative play, where she is averaging 6.4 assists per game.
After Clark, she is next in line to break into the WNBA in the upcoming season. In addition, raising an NCAA National Championship trophy is a task that Paige Bueckers is pursuing. This is something that Caitlin Clark never achieved.
