UConn star Paige Bueckers tears up after being named the first freshman to win the AP women's basketball player of the year award. #UConn #PaigeBueckers #APPOY
It shows how unselfish she really is and winning player of the year or MVP is an awesome accomplishment but thanking teammates and coaches after that is unselfish!
My wife, who's from CT, pointed out that the UCONN women don't have their names on their jerseys. Why? Because they are a "team" in every sense of the word, and it's not about one person. That said, Paige is one outstanding player.
💯 agree , I stopped watching sports because of all the “fake woke” social justice warriors that think they can talk down on Americans that might have different opinions then them, I appreciate a beautiful team, no egos, everyone is appreciated and even cranky Geno has a smile , I am pulling for the team just because of their selfless style,
This is well deserved and she is the correct pick. She is the best collegiate Women's Basketball Player I have seen in a while. Her court vision, shooting, and handles are really solid. But her character, leadership, and selflessness is what really separates her. Congrats, Paige!
Man she looks so tall off court. Anyways, well deserving. I’m a guy who watches no college sports but Paige and a couple other players made me start watching female basketball. It’s exciting.
i love her goat goat shes got more mamba in her then anyone keep doing what your doing make me cry we love you the world loves you glad i discovered you senior year
Stars are taught not to get caught up in the spotlight. But on a personal level , surrounded by those who love you, attention can be emotionally overwhelming.
So the national player of the year is a true freshman in the women's game. She joins Kevin Durant, Anthony Davis and Zion Williamson as the only freshman to win player of the year. Davis is the only freshman to win the award and lead his team to a national championship.
And came up short against Arizona. So this is how random this season is. Connecticut's two losses were to Arizona and Arkansas? But they can beat South Carolina and Baylor. Imagine that.
As a Uconn Fan, I love Paige but this was the worst thing she could have received. She didn’t show up tonight to help the team against Arizona! . She is no Breanna Stewart! Now she has to prove she can win three championships in a row!!?? Good luck!
What do you expect her to say on camera being recorded of course she's gonna thank her team and coach... its crazy that a team of their caliber have to be led by and carried by a freshman... what does that say about the rest of the team thats full of sophomores, juniors and seniors... rest of them girls need to step it up
@@habibrakhman4265 ok they may not be full of seniors but they have several sophomores and juniors and their letting a freshman out perform them and carry them... that shows a lack of leadership and drive by the experienced players
@@chrismalik1579 I think Evina Westbrook (junior) is their leader, and she showed that through this tourney season. Just because she didn't score or assist as well as Paige that doesn't mean she was not the leader. There are much going around in and off court that we as audience or viewer of the game don't see. Heck, even if you watch previous interviews of Paige and others, they always refers that Evina is their leader. Leader isn't always top scorer or the best player in the team for that matter. Paige is just that good
@@habibrakhman4265 I never said anything about top scorer or stat leader is what makes her the leader... and nobody talks about any other girl on that team but page... even Geno has said in interviews she is the leader and the heart and soul of the team... the other girls haven't really done anything in the tournament... if it wasn't for page scoring half of uconns points against baylor with page taking most of the shots uconn would've been destroyed by baylor... they only lost because baylor lost their star point guard and page was making almost every basket she shot... I follow uconn every year and you can easily tell who their leader is... some of them girls act like they don't know how to shoot or rebound half the time... geno even said in post-game if it wasn't for page being the leader they wouldn't have won
@@chrismalik1579 yeah, fair enough, I see that too, they didn't have true leader since Lou and Napheesa I think. but I think Christyn kinda step up her game lately, except for the miss free throws against baylor. Well, I got you 😉
