Paige Bueckers’ Find It Tough Saying Goodbye To Her “First Born”
Paige Bueckers, a star basketball player for the UConn Huskies, had an emotional farewell to her first car. Although an athlete, she must be psychologically tough to withstand the demands of NCAA hoops, but even she may have weak times.
The 22-year-old Minnesotan uploaded the picture to Instagram, announcing her departure from her red car. She did not specify if she intended to sell it or just cease driving it, though.

Given that she appears destined to fill the stardom void left by the departure of several major NCAA players, including Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, and Cameron Brinks, her Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) worth may increase, potentially leading to an upgrade.
Bueckers shared on social media as she wrapped up her chapter with her first vehicle, “Saying bye to my first born.”
Given that she now has contracts with numerous companies, like Gatorade, Nike, Crocs, and many more, is a new endorsement possible? She can buy a nice new car that will serve her well for many years, even with a NIL value of $652,000.

As Reese just flaunted a brand-new white Mercedes-Benz for $183,000 after being selected seventh overall in the WNBA Draft, it might also be a case of keeping up appearances.
Reese and Bueckers are competing in distinct financial arenas, yet it’s important to note that Reese’s NIL and valuation are around three times higher than Bueckers’.
Bueckers motivated by Kyrie Irving’s outstanding NBA Playoffs display
On May 3, after the Dallas Mavericks defeated the Los Angeles Clippers, Kyrie Irving turned up the heat at the American Airlines Center to secure their spot in the next round of the NBA Playoffs.

The contentious basketball player led the Texans to victory once more, finishing with 30 points, six rebounds, and four assists in the pivotal match. Luka Doncic also contributed significantly to the victory.
That pleased Bueckers, who posted on social media with the straightforward message, “Nah Kyrie is disgusting.”

To cut right to the chase, while the adjective “disgusting” seems like an oxymoron, in this context, that’s actually quite good praise. In other words, Irving’s performance in the 114-101 victory was exceptionally talented.
