Angel Reese and Paige Bueckers lit up Madison Square Garden during a recent New York trip, but it wasn’t just the Knicks game that had fans talking. The two WNBA stars dropped a viral TikTok that instantly took over social media, showing off their chemistry, humor, and latest off-court collaboration.
While they were in the building to promote a new Reese’s and Oreo partnership, the spotlight quickly shifted to Reese joking about Bueckers cheering a little too hard for Reese’s beau, Wendell Carter Jr., and their cheeky questionnaire.
Angel Reese & Paige Bueckers’ Viral Crossover Takes Over the Hoop World
The buzz began with Reese’s Dec. 7 TikTok recap from the Knicks vs. Magic game. The clip featured a montage of their courtside night, including Paige Bueckers hyping up a play from Carter Jr. During the voiceover, Reese delivered the line that sent fans into hysterics:
“Here’s Paige cheering louder for my man than me at a Knicks game. Girl, we gonna get kicked out.”
The playful jab immediately caught fire online, mainly because Reese and Carter Jr. have been linked since May.
The Magic center attended her birthday party earlier this year and even wore a shirt with Reese’s picture on it during the 2025 WNBA All-Star game. Reese also posted a second TikTok standing courtside with the court in the background, answering playful questions.
Reese asked: “One savage chomp or two savage bites?” Bueckers immediately went with one savage chomp. Then Paige flipped the script and asked: “Winning by 30 or buzzer?” Reese picked winning by 30, keeping the banter rolling.
Their combined star power and crossover appeal made the collaboration an instant hit, further solidifying Reese and Bueckers not only as WNBA faces but cultural fixtures.
Sitting courtside at MSG, Reese and Bueckers were impossible to miss. Their energy fueled the game atmosphere as the Knicks secured their 16th win of the season on Dec. 7 with a 106–100 victory over the Magic.
Both stars were in New York to promote a new collaboration between Reese and Oreo. This unique crossover unites Reese’s long-standing role as a Hershey ambassador with Bueckers’ expanding brand presence through Oreo.
Reese has been a face of Reese’s since 2024, spotlighted in multiple Hershey campaigns. Bueckers entered the confection spotlight in 2025 through a major Oreo endorsement, which included a national Oreo Cakesters commercial.
Their joint appearance at MSG marked the first time the two brands and the two stars collaborated on a campaign in front of a national audience.
