Aresurfaced scouting tweet from over a decade ago has sparked a wave of reactions among basketball fans, highlighting the extraordinary talent of Paige Bueckers even as a sixth grader. The tweet, comparing a young Bueckers to WNBA legend Diana Taurasi, has left fans marveling at her early potential. One fan summed it up perfectly, saying, “U know she was a demon if he was comparing a 6th grader to Diana Taurasi.” This bold comparison underscores the generational talent Bueckers displayed long before her rise to stardom.

The buzz around Bueckers is not new. Her journey from a young prodigy to one of the most exciting players in women’s basketball has been closely followed by fans and experts alike. Reflecting on her trajectory, one fan pointed out, “A lot of child prodigies don’t pan out. She lived up to the hype.” It’s a testament to her dedication and skill that she has managed to meet, and even exceed, the lofty expectations placed on her at such a young age.

However, not everyone is ready to anoint Bueckers as the next Diana Taurasi just yet. Some fans are urging caution, noting that she hasn’t entered the WNBA yet. “She hasn’t even made the league yet! It might be true but super premature to say she lived up to Diana Taurasi levels already,” one fan tweeted. This sentiment reflects the high standards set by Taurasi, widely regarded as one of the greatest players in basketball history.

The resurfaced tweet also sparked nostalgia for those who witnessed Bueckers’ dominance as a young player.

Bueckers’ connection to Diana Taurasi goes beyond comparisons. As a standout at UConn, Bueckers followed in the footsteps of Taurasi, who also played for the storied program. Their shared legacy at UConn adds another layer of intrigue to the discussion surrounding Bueckers’ potential.

As the conversation continues, fans remain captivated by Paige Bueckers’ journey. Whether she ultimately reaches Taurasi’s legendary status or carves out her own unique legacy, one thing is clear-she’s already made an indelible mark on the basketball world.

VIDEO: Some Dude Just Dropped The Cold Hard Truth On Why All Of These NFL Prospects Are “Dating White Women”

Unless this is your first day in America, then you know race relations in this country dominate just everything, and that includes NBA and NFL drafts.

 

 

During the most recent NFL Draft in Detroit, social media was buzzing as athletes showed up to the red carpet event with their girlfriends and family. Many of the incoming NFL rookies were African-American and were spotted with white women, which has become the usual theme for years.

The same thing happens with the NBA Draft.

This year, the discourse on the NFL Draft and NBA Draft has gotten even louder as African-American women openly pondered why so many of the players never have a partner that is the same race as them.

 

 

One guy on TikTok decided to answer that question by revealing that the vast majority of his division-1 friends in college or headed to the league are dating or married to white women and explained why.

He stated that some of them had told him that their white girlfriend looked up to Taylor Swift while their girlfriend looked up to Megan The Stallion. He then states the guy asks how many white women he has seen doing the Megan Thee Stallion challenge as opposed to Black women.

He then dove into another story of a friend who relayed that his Black girlfriend started to request money from him as soon as she found out about his NIL money. She wanted her hair and nails done. He then added that the Black women would be upset if they went to places like Chipotle, and she demanded steak houses.

Commissioner Roger Goodell took the stage Thursday for the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft in Detroit, and many players showed up, ready to hear their names called.

Many women online noticed that some players in the NFL Draft who were Black did not have the same color girlfriend on their arm.

Some of those players included Caleb Williams, who hit the red carpet at the 2024 NFL Draft in Detroit with girlfriend Alina Thyregod by his side.

Washington wide receiver Rome Odunze showed up with girlfriend Alannah Davidson.

Penn State left tackle Olu Fashanu had his girlfriend blocked by his mom from interacting with him after he was selected.

Former NFL running back LeSean McCoy is getting dragged online for telling on NBA legend and Hall of Famer Dikembe Mutombo as he suggested the 57-year-old was stepping out on his wife around eight years ago.

 

Mutombo, an eight-time All-Star who played for 18 seasons, met his wife Rose in 1995 and married her shortly after.

Speaking on his ‘25/10Show’ podcast, McCoy recalled a story about meeting a female he described as a “baddie” in Atlanta who told him she was seeing the four-time Defensive Player of the Year, who would take her on trips to France.

He said: “She told me he not that type of dude, you know he take good care of me…He don’t take me shopping, he takes me to France. I was like who is the dude? Guess what she said his name was? Dikembe Mutombo. I was like you’re taking him over me? But I get it, yeah he’s taking you shopping from PJ to France, I said babe, keep him.”

 

Fans Rip LeSean McCoy For Mentioning Mutombo’s Name

Fans did not appreciate Shady namedropping Mutombo, especially given that the former NBA center has been happily married for nearly 30 years.

“1. This doesn’t violate bro code cuss that’s not his bro. 2. He violated man code cuss name dropping when the situation could hurt my home is nasty. 3. It’s nasty cuss he ain’t have to say a name at all,” one wrote.

“D. Jack told him early like bro you a house wrecker. He thought he was gon get cool points for finishing the story lmao,” another pointed out.

“you must not know his actual nickname is Shady McCoy…he will name-drop in a minute,” a third suggested.
