Paige Bueckers
Host
Okay, folks, it is the 20th of March. Let's have some Paige Becker's. Fun fact, now she
has famously nicknamed Paige Buckets by fans and teammates. It's a playful nod to
her scoring prowess and smooth finishing around the rim. Paige started playing basketball
at just age five, quickly falling in love with the sport, despite her dad initially trying
to get her into track and other activities. She became the first freshman ever to win
the AP National Player of the Year award back in 2021 during her debut season at Yukon,
with an average of 20 points and nearly five assists per game. She has her own signature
Nike shoe, the Paige Becker's GT Hustle 3, making her the first college athlete to have
a player edition sneaker released. Under her name, and one more Paige organised her own
youth basketball clinics called Buckets with Becker's, offering free sessions in Minnesota
and Montana while raising money for local charities.
