Paige Bueckers doesn't hold back amid expectation of forming a star duo in the WNBA

Paige Bueckers has mastered the NIL game. The Connecticut Huskies‘ star point guard has leveraged her image and profile into a slew of lucrative sponsorship deals that have enhanced her place as one of the top players in NCAA women’s basketball — and before her collegiate career is up, Bueckers wants to be a national champion.

Thanks to Bueckers’ consistency and return to health, UConn is among the top 10 teams in the country and is firmly in the hunt for its first national title since 2016. But in three months’ time, Bueckers could turn pro, and the WNBA would love to have another blossoming superstar in its ranks after Caitlin Clark took the league by storm in 2024.

Paige and Arike: A new duo for Dallas

Thank you for watching

Last week, Bueckers maintained that her “plan” is to enter the 2025 WNBA Draft, despite speculation that she would prefer not to join the Dallas Wings, who own the #1 overall pick. Dallas has reconfigured its roster during a busy offseason, seemingly laying the groundwork to recruit another backcourt star to partner franchise player Arike Ogunbowale.

Entering Sunday’s showdown with defending national champion South Carolina, Bueckers averaged 18.7 points per game on 54 percent shooting from the floor, which includes a 42 percent mark from 3-point range. The former National Player of the Year has been lauded for her shooting, playmaking, and leadership qualities — her ability to play off the ball would make her a good fit next to Ogunbowale, a ball-dominant shooter who functioned as Dallas‘ point guard during its dismal 9-31 season in 2024.

Bueckers’ “preferred destination” was rumored to be the Los Angeles Sparks, but that option is off the table after the Sparks acquired star guard Kelsey Plum from the Las Vegas Aces. And so the countdown is on to April 14, when the 2025 WNBA Draft commences — and the Husky Bueckers is likely to become a Wing.

Everyone Is Falling In Love With Grand Theft Auto VI’s New Female Character Who Looks Stunningly Real

Social media might be down incredibly bad as Lucia from Grand Theft Auto is going insanely viral.

GTA 6’s trailer 2 officially broke a record after the upcoming second look at the game, which has continued to take forever to come out.

GTA 6 broke the record for the longest wait between a first and second trailer for a Rockstar Games title ever.

Rockstar has built a rich world of criminals, lunatics, and thieves spanning from Liberty City to San Andreas and beyond. With GTA 6 on the horizon, fans have become ecstatic after seeing a picture of Lucia.

For those unaware, she is a female criminal in the game. Grand Theft Auto states that she did her time at a prison complex in the State of Leonida in the mid-2020s for an unknown crime.

As anticipation builds for the release of Grand Theft Auto 6, a picture shows Lucia stripped down to a two-piece bikini.

Here is how fans reacted to Lucia’s apparent new look in Grand Theft Auto:

“Everything is woke if you’ve never seen a woman’s body irl,” one fan said.

“They better have some awesome clothing to choose from. Gotta look cute while doing missions,” a second fan added.

A third fan knew they were no match for her: “If I was in a beauty contest against her, she’d get first place, and I’d get disqualified.”

“She’s beautiful, my sapphic heart can’t take it 🤧,” another X user added.


“not leaving my house anytime soon,” a fan stated about the impending release of the game.

“No arsenal, but ima be a gooner for sure, a sixth fan added.


One final fan added: “Anybody upset about a video game character needs to seriously reevaluate their life.”

Fans Have Waited A Long Time For Grand Theft Auto To Release New Game

After more than a decade of waiting, Grand Theft Auto VI is supposedly finally set to come out in 2025.

Despite their hopes for a release this year fading, the community remains engaged in hopes that a second trailer will be released in early 2025 and a release date of the actual game will come out.

With each passing day, the desire for more news grows stronger.

Hopefully, 2025 will give the fans what they so desperately want.
