Paige Bueckers, the UConn Huskies’ dazzling guard, is having a moment. Scratch that—she’s having THE moment in NCAA women’s basketball, stealing the spotlight from not just college fans but also WNBA stars. Case in point: Aliyah Boston, who recently couldn’t resist joining in on Bueckers’ social media antics.
Despite the allure of going pro, Bueckers chose to savor her final year with the Huskies, aiming for that elusive title. But before the season kicks off, she’s been living her best life on an epic world tour, rubbing elbows with WNBA pals and even dropping by the WNBA All-Star Game.
Paige’s Jet-Setting Shenanigans
The globetrotting guard has been documenting her adventures on social media, much to the delight of her followers. Her latest Instagram post, featuring snaps with Seattle Storm rookie Nika Muhl and famed trainer Chris Brickley, was captioned: “Racking up my flight mileage… world tour complete.”
Enter Aliyah Boston, Indiana Fever’s forward, who’s been enjoying her own downtime during the WNBA’s break for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. With some spare time and a sharp sense of humor, Boston couldn’t resist chiming in on Bueckers’ post.
Boston’s Hilarious Comments
Boston’s initial comment, “This was the official world tour of the century. Can’t even lie,” garnered a hearty 640 likes. Not satisfied with just one zinger, she followed up with, “Let me use some of your points for my next flight,” which has racked up 801 likes and counting. Fans, unsurprisingly, went wild over the exchange.
Fans Go Gaga
The interaction between these two basketball powerhouses set social media abuzz. Followers reveled in the playful banter, with some speculating whether Bueckers might actually share some of those frequent flyer miles. Hey, a girl can dream, right?
What’s Next for the Dynamic Duo?
Both Bueckers and Boston are squeezing every drop of fun out of their vacations. Bueckers has time to spare before the Big East Conference season starts in November. Meanwhile, Boston has a few more weeks to relax before the Fever hit the court on August 16 against the Phoenix Mercury.
More Laughs on the Horizon?
With such spirited personalities, one can only hope for more social media gold from Bueckers and Boston. Who knows what hilarious hijinks they’ll get up to next? One thing’s for sure: fans will be watching, liking, and laughing along every step of the way.
