Paige Bueckers has long been known as the kind of basketball star who genuinely invests in her fans always ready to sign autographs, take pictures, and chat whenever she has the chance. She’s even been known to sneak away from team practices just to greet the people waiting for her before games.
But even Paige sometimes needs a moment away from the spotlight.
A recent video showed that she doesn’t always want to be the center of attention. During the Knicks vs. Mavericks game, the Rookie of the Year and No. 1 WNBA draft pick sat courtside but tried to slip out discreetly with her hoodie pulled up, hoping not to be noticed. Fans recognized her almost immediately.
Despite her attempt to stay low-key, Paige couldn’t move through the crowd unnoticed. She declined photo requests a rare move for her and even apologized as she walked away. A security guard eventually had to step in to give her space, proving that a hood wasn’t enough to hide her from admirers.
That brief moment of guardedness quickly became the night’s biggest talking point. Even after returning to her seat, she kept her hood up and tried to stay inconspicuous, though people around her still took notice.
In the end, Paige’s failed attempt to go incognito only added to her intrigue, showing that even one of the most fan-friendly young stars occasionally needs a little room and sometimes ends up creating an even bigger buzz by trying to avoid one.
