‘We have a lot’ – Paige Bueckers gets real on ‘similarities and differences’ with Angel Reese

Paige Bueckers and Angel Reese’s friendship has come into the limelight during this FIBA World Cup. The Dallas Wings star opened up about it in a recent interview.

Both Paige Bueckers and Angel Reese are two of the most popular young superstars in the WNBA. On rival teams in the league, they are currently together on the Team USA roster at the FIBA World Cup.

Team USA has won all three of their games to advance through the group stage at the tournament. Their performances on the court have garnered praise, but attention is also being paid to what’s going on off the court.

Reese and Bueckers seem to get along famously in all the content the team has shared so far. And the Dallas Wings star recently provided some insight into their relationship.

Bueckers and Reese regularly engage in banter in social media clips. The former was seen on video revealing that the Atlanta Dream star is one of the league’s biggest ‘trash-talkers.’

Bueckers recently made an appearance on The Pull Up, an exclusive content series with USA Basketball where she spoke about their relationship.

“We have a lot of similarities. We also have a lot of differences,” Bueckers said. “We both wear number five. We both like to talk trash, so that relationship is great.

“I mean, you can see it as competitors, but also you can see it as friends. We have the same mindset of going at each other, being a dog, but also just a goofy, fun personality off the court, so it’s all fun.”
