Remember the name: Paige Bueckers. 6th grade, think Diana Taurasi. Best 6th grade G I've ever seen. St. Louis Park.

- Full circle moment today. Watched Paige Bueckers, great even as a 6th grader, grow into one of the best. Hearing her call me “the originator” and mention our connection from a 2013 tweet was a reminder of what it’s like to witness her journey from the start.
- Replying to @ESPNAssignDeskHello, I just saw my photo of UConn’s Paige Bueckers on air during the 2022 NCAA Women’s Final Four without my credit, @gPrep ESPN Assign Desk told me l would be given on-air credit for my property.
- The baby 🐐 handled business. Rookie of the Year. Paige Bueckers. 🙌🏽Name remembered.
- Replying to @shortbread007Doesn’t work that way. Once in a generational talent…
- Congratulations to the baby 🐐 Paige Bueckers on making the All-WNBA Second Team! 🌟 Hard work pays off! 💪 If the team record was better, she would’ve been 1st Team. But I’ll take 2nd! 🔥 #WNBATalent #PaigeBueckers
Replying to @WNBAThe 2025 All-WNBA Second Team ⬇️ Aliyah Boston | IND Paige Bueckers | DAL Sabrina Ionescu | NYL Nneka Ogwumike | SEA Jackie Young | LVA #WelcometotheW - Replying to @TheyAlreadyKnewJust to clarify. I wasn’t a middle school scout. We were at Hopkins High School’s open gym when Paige did her thing against the high schoolers while in 6th grade.
- Replying to @JohnHPietteSky was the limit then.. sky is the limit now. Future face of the league.
- She’s always been a class act!! “The Originator”
00:00 - Let’s call it now! Paige Bueckers . Player of the Month & Rookie of the Month… Unanimous ROY
- Stop the nonsense from podcasters claiming Paige Bueckers isn’t popular just because she doesn’t shoot logo 3s. Paige’s game is on the right side of history, she’s wildly popular, and her story is still being written. Focus on facts, not baseless takes.
- When you know, you know. Paige Bueckers called me “the originator.” Just archiving this moment on my timeline.
