Paige Bueckers<\/a> is showing support for one of her biggest competitors \u2014 and now one of the sport\u2019s biggest crossover stars.<\/p>\n The Dallas Wings guard, whose team finds themselves at a crossroads again<\/a>, publicly congratulated Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese<\/a> after Reese became the first professional athlete to walk in the Victoria\u2019s Secret Fashion Show, a milestone moment that merged sports and fashion on a global stage.<\/p>\n On social media, Bueckers, the 2025 WNBA Rookie of the Year and No. 1 overall pick, commented on Reese\u2019s post from the event with a simple message: \u201cStrutted your stuff,\u201d while Reese gave her unfiltered opinion on swapping basketball for a full-time modeling career.<\/a><\/p>\n READ MORE: Giants star Cam Skattebo clears air following alleged college essay leak<\/a>READ MORE: JJ Watt, Derek Carr and others says what fans think about Shohei Ohtani’s NLCS domination<\/a><\/p>\n Reese reflected on the experience in an interview with ‘E! Online,’ calling it a moment she had long dreamed of.<\/p>\n \u201cIt means everything to me,\u201d Reese said. \u201cI\u2019m just really excited to be here. There are so many great people and women who have done this. I get to sit in the room with the top, top, top models. Just being here and being in this moment \u2014 I\u2019m grateful and graceful and I\u2019m really gonna enjoy it.\u201d<\/p>\n The 23-year-old forward said the opportunity represented more than a personal milestone.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m not just doing this for me,\u201d Reese added. \u201cI\u2019m doing it for everyone who looks like me. And know that you can be anyone you want to be in this world. People are going to tell you \u2018no.\u2019 You\u2019re going to get a thousand \u2018no\u2019s, but that one \u2018yes\u2019 is going to get you in the door and let you be whoever you want to be.\u201d<\/p>\n Content cannot be displayed without consent<\/p>\n Reese\u2019s comments appeared to resonate with Bueckers, who experienced a breakout rookie campaign of her own.<\/p>\n After a decorated career at UConn, Bueckers transitioned seamlessly into the WNBA, leading Dallas in scoring and helping re-energize the Wings franchise. She earned Rookie of the Year honors and quickly became one of the league\u2019s most marketable young stars.<\/p>\n Reese\u2019s success off the court has paralleled her emergence as one of the league\u2019s top rebounders and personalities. Alongside her fashion debut, she has appeared in ‘Vogue,’ collaborated with major brands, and continued to expand her influence beyond basketball.<\/p>\n Both Reese and Bueckers endured challenging seasons with their respective teams, as the Wings and Sky each finished with 10\u201334 records, but their individual accomplishments stood out in a year of transition for the league.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Paige Bueckers showed support for Angel Reese after the Chicago Sky forward made headlines with her latest off-court…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":235328,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[73],"tags":[3691,2833,99,434],"class_list":{"0":"post-235327","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-wnba","8":"tag-angel-reese","9":"tag-paige-bueckers","10":"tag-sports","11":"tag-wnba"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235327","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=235327"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235327\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/235328"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=235327"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=235327"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=235327"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
