Paige Bueckers Makes Powerful Statement About Pride Night
Pride Night attracted a sellout crowd to College Park Center on June 11, and Bueckers rewarded fans with a masterpiece. She led the Wings to a 85-70 win over the Phoenix Mercury with a season-high 31 points on a ridiculously efficient 14-for-20 shooting from the field.
After the game, Bueckers’ leadership took another form when asked about the Wings’ Pride Night celebration.
“I think it’s really important,” Bueckers said at her postgame presser. “I feel like this world would be a lot better place if love and inclusivity was just put first. To live in love. To love somebody regardless of who they like, who they love, and just love them for who they are. I think that’s what life is all about.”
Bueckers continued, “I want to live a Christ-like life — to live in love, to live in accepting others, to live a judgment-free life. That’s really what you want to do. It was a really fun night to celebrate Pride, and I know the W is huge on inclusivity and activism and being just supportive and loving of everybody.”
