Both of them looking like fallen angels fr. And Azzi, what you mean looking like that?? She’s basically a walking Barbie doll.

this has me feeling things…

I know Paige struggled not to burst out laughing

I LOVE my wifeys🩷💜

I want that cookie so bad but that cookie is a 24 year old blonde that plays basketball for Washington Mystics

GAHHH DAMN

this picture made me choke on my hibachi and hyperventilate😋😋

Jada actually makes me fucking pissed off, not only do you absolutely SUCK at basketball and are always on the bench, probably not even remembering how a ball feels like but you are encouraging your ignorant pathetic so-called friend to talk down on black women on your platform that isn't even in your reach to talk about considering the fact you are ass at the game.

You are so comfortable laughing at your dunce of a friend's jokes about black women AS A BLACK WOMAN YOURSELF who are way more successful than you could even dream of being and have reached levels of success you couldn't even touch and are ridiculously talented as a bench warmer… embarrassing.

Next time you are doing your makeup to just be a decoration for your little Iowa team that only hope is Hannah and if I am being generous Gabbie, look at yourself and where you are at and then remember your place compared to the women you laughed at.

Finally realized paige and azzi are considered a duo cause they are always together and now your angry lol. Solo stanning basketball player like she's in a kpop band is mental illness.

They're not a duo no matter how badly you want someone else to share her spotlight. Paige is on another level, and it's fine to admit that. Stop trying to force everyone to support her friends just to satisfy your own ego—even she knows she doesn't have the same recognition.

I think it’s funny how y’all continuously push her onto people that clearly are here for Paige but can’t stand that she gets all the attention. Nobody is pushing that kpop mentality besides you losers who force her teammates down everyone’s throats 😭

I genuinely pity that girl like…

It’s actually sick how much they bring up azzis name on every little thing Paige does too. Like there’s a video on here of Paige naming 20 famous people and someone reblogs and says it funny how Paige knows 20 famous people and Azzi doesn’t. How did Azzi get in this? They’re always trying to make fetch happen with this duo thing poor Azzi is a shadow

Everybody sees it but no one has really acknowledged it due to the backlash they’d get from calling out the odd behavior from UConn fans. It’s weird how much they want to involve that girl and make it seem as they’re inseparable when that’s far from reality. These “fans” want to push this duo image when that’s the never been the case, if it was she wouldn’t need Paige’s name stuck to hers for some visibility!

Even the people that push her onto Paige for media attention knows this for a fact. They do this to diminish her worth to the public to uplift her teammates and it’s so disgusting. I really can’t wait until she’s finally in the league and away from these people who desperately latch onto her fame.

I hope Paige isn’t on Tumblr. I hope she doesn’t see how you guys talk about her teammates and friends, especially Azzi.

If you guys pay attention to Paige’s interviews you would notice how important the people around her are, especially during her injury.

Importance isn’t measured by fame.

Just a reminder that we might be their fans, but our attention isn’t what dictates who they are and how important they are. At the end of the day, they are athletes and the work they put in on the court and in the locker room will be more important than events, social media, and fan engagement.

Azzi is well known in the WNBA world. Even NBA players know her face or her name because she works WITH Steph Curry.

Don’t diminish her hard work just because it’s not in front of strangers online.

As fans, I think it’s clear that we see a significant gap in recognition and talent between Paige Bueckers & Azzi Fudd, and it seems unfair that Azzi's visibility is so tied to Paige's success.

The feeling that Azzi is mainly discussed as her best friend is because of her proximity to Paige and it’s quite frustrating, especially when we want to see Paige celebrated independently. I’m not dismissing her best friend’s role or their relationship, but it feels like there’s an imbalance in the attention they receive. It comes across as others trying to share in Paige's spotlight without earning it in the same way Paige has, which dilutes the acknowledgment she deserves.

Regarding the racial dynamics, i thinks it’s very likely that some people in the fanbase feel a sense of loyalty to elevate Black players, particularly given the often inequitable media coverage that athletes of different racial backgrounds receive. This might be the reason you and others focus more on Azzi, perhaps as a form of pushing back against the disproportionate attention a white athlete like Paige gets. While that intention might be rooted in a desire for greater representation, it comes off as attempting to diminish Paige’s achievements in favor of someone y’all relate to more and feel deserves more attention. It’s unfair to fans like me who genuinely admires Paige's talent and wants to see her acknowledged on her own terms, without any added dynamics or pressures influencing her recognition.

The way you even brought up Stephen Curry also adds to my point. You can’t be interested in her without attaching someone more famous to make her presence known which is why I said I pitied her. It’s fans like you that push this rhetoric and can’t fathom that this agenda being pushed will never actually work…

I’m saying this as a black person btw. I explained as best as I could without any added aggression so it feels straightforward. I won’t delve into this topic much more to save her some grace but I do feel like this conversation can also lead to the Caitlin Clark vs. Angel Reese topic.

Paige deserves a better fanbase…

Not obsessive freaks that suppress her fame because they’re insecure of the amount of media attention she gets. It’s so sad to see the same people that claim to “support” her go on to belittle her self-worth to make those around her feel better about themselves.

Stop trying to push someone else into her spotlight.

Got a lot of anon messages to go through…

Apologies in advance because I didn’t think my posts would blow up as much as they did but a lot of people have shared opinions with me on this topic and I think it’s worth going into since this is what a lot of fans try to harass others into not speaking about.

I get like 10-15 anonymous messages an hour and try to respond to a couple every hour that i’m online so i’m not clogging up all of Paige’s tags… i’ll get to every single one.

Paige absolutely needs to detach herself from Azzi in the public eye and maybe even irl too cause look at how far people go to ruin her image for that girl…

You guys absolutely have no boundaries. Just because people are speculating who released them in the first place, doesn’t mean you get to put that back on the internet as a way to get back at Paige.

It bring me back to the main point of why I started being vocal about Paige’s social circle in the first place. It’s not uncommon for fans to gravitate toward certain athletes based on shared experiences, whether through race, culture, or other factors. Some of you people feel more connected to Azzi and believe she deserves recognition in her own right because of her being black and this is not up for debate. It has led y’all to downplay Paige as a whole. This created an environment where Paige’s achievements are often dismissed to make Azzi feel better about not being on the same level as she is, which is frustrating for her true supporters because you guys will fill all her content comments and make it about Azzi and overcompensate all the time and i’m so over it.
