Just under a month ago, Bueckers at long last seemed to officially confirm that she and Fudd have been dating. The national champion backcourt duo bantered together throughout the 12\u00bd-minute conversation, which covered a wide range of topics.<\/p>\n
From their favorite WNBA players to when they first felt they connected, here are some of the best moments from Fudd and Bueckers’ appearance on “Close Friends Only.”<\/p>\n
“Probably Paige Bueckers,” Fudd said without hesitation when the question was posed. Replying to the same question, Bueckers went with Minnesota Lynx star Napheesa Collier — after some light teasing from Fudd about the prospect of the Wings guard choosing herself.<\/p>\n
Collier also represented Fudd’s second pick after Bueckers.<\/p>\n
Lots of trolling, apparently. Fudd asked Bueckers what kind of posts make it only to her “close friends” story — a feature of Instagram that allows you to share posts to select followers — she had a simple answer.<\/p>\n
“I would say a lot of trolling posts,” Bueckers said. “Where I’m just clowning stuff that is exclusive to the friends.”<\/p>\n
When Fudd responded with “heavy on the trolling though,” Bueckers kept things blunt:<\/p>\n
“I try.”<\/p>\n
The first question asked in the segment’s introduction was when the pairing realized they would be so close.<\/p>\n
“Almost kind of immediately,” Fudd said from an on-court perspective, but noted she thought it took some time for the two to click off the court.<\/p>\n
“We had this on-court chemistry. And you don’t remember me off the court,” a bemused Bueckers added.<\/p>\n
On the topic of style and fashion, Bueckers was quick to clear up something:<\/p>\n
“There’s like a large — I don’t want to say a large controversy, but a misunderstanding — that we share clothes. Azzi takes clothes out of MY closet,” Bueckers said. “There’s never like, Paige took Azzi’s clothes.”<\/p>\n
Fudd didn’t refute the notion, and says she looks to take inspiration from Buecker’s feel for fashion.<\/p>\n
“You like to step out of the comfort zone and do bold things,” Fudd said of Bueckers’ style. “I hope that that will rub off on me.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
