WNBA legend Renee Montgomery reacted to the UConn Huskies star Paige Bueckers choosing Sue Bird over her in a comparison. Montgomery expressed her reaction on an X, formerly Twitter, post.
She reposted the video where Bueckers took Bird’s side and accompanied the caption with her thoughts.
“Paige gave me the L,” she tweeted on Friday.

The video the WNBA icon shared featured Bueckers’ interview with “On Her Turf.” In the video, the Huskies star was asked to choose a winner from UConn alums paired together for a 1v1. The interviewer paired Montgomery with Bird, making it a difficult choice for Bueckers.
“Dang Renne’s fast, Sue is smart. I’mma just say Sue,” Bueckers said.
The Huskies star was also asked who would win between Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart and Maya Moore and Diana Taurasi. Bueckers took a while to give her opinion on the Collier-Stewart matchup but quickly dismissed the Moore-Taurasi matchup.
“I’mma say Stewie,” she said. “I love Phee. Gosh, that’s impossible.”
“Diana don’t like to play defense so I’mma say Maya.”
Buekcers is playing her fourth season with the UConn Huskies in the NCAA Tournament. She is expected to declare for the 2025 WNBA Draft and get drafted as the first pick.
WNBA icon Sue Bird points out one big flaw in Paige Bueckers’ game
Bird pointed out that one stat is holding Bueckers back despite her incredible shooting efficiency.
“You can’t talk about UConn without talking about Paige [Bueckers],” she said. “You can’t talk about Paige without talking about her efficiency right now. It’s insane. She’s shooting 62% from two, 46.0% from 3 and 83% from the free throw line … Her free throws are messing up her 50/40/90 [split].” (23:25)
Bueckers is having a great run with the Huskies this season. She is averaging 20.6 points, 4.6 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game. She is shooting 58.4% from the field and 44.2% from the 3-point range. However, her free-throw percentage has dwindled.
In her freshman season, she shot 86.9% from the charity line. This season, she is shooting 80.0% from the same spot. Although the dip in her free throw stat is noticeable, it should not pose problems if she declares for the 2025 draft.
Kansas City Chiefs President Forced To Address Rumors That Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce’s Relationship Is Just A “Marketing Strategy” For The Team

The three-time Super Bowl champion has been in a relationship with Taylor Swift for over a year. Their rumored romance was confirmed when Swift attended the Chiefs’ Week 3, 2023 home game against the Chicago Bears at Arrowhead Stadium.
Kelce’s romance with Swfit has been a giant win for the Chiefs and the NFL, too. She has brought plenty more attention to the NFL and contributed to the Chiefs’ skyrocketing popularity worldwide.
Naturally, conspiracy theorists believe the Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift romance is simply a marketing ploy to help the Chiefs and the league. But Chiefs president Mark Donovan finally addressed the ridiculous rumor during an appearance on NBC’s “Squawk Box” program:
“I’d love to say that it was a marketing strategy, but it is an authentic relationship. And we’re happy to have it, and it’s been nothing but good for us.
I think the best thing I can say about the whole relationship and the impact it’s had on us is, Taylor Swift is an authentic member of the Kansas City Chiefs kingdom. She’s an authentic fan and that matters to our fans and our fan base and to matters to us and we try to respect that.”
