Dallas has a lot to celebrate this year. They were the only city to secure the top pick in both the NBA and WNBA drafts in the same year. The excitement is building, especially with Cooper Flagg's upcoming debut in a Dallas cap. Meanwhile, another top pick from UConn, Paige Bueckers, is already making waves in Texas. She's not just about the cowboy boots and hats or the preseason game where over 6000 fans welcomed her. She's diving into Dallas' sports scene.

Paige showed up at the American Airlines Center to support the Dallas Stars, the city's NHL team. She wasn't alone. Joining her was KK Arnold, her former teammate from UConn. Their bond was always special, filled with laughter and mutual support. They were known for their antics on and off the court, from making TikToks to sharing basketball tips. Paige often referred to KK as a little sister, appreciating her humor and positive energy.

KK is still a student at UConn, but distance hasn't weakened their bond. Paige mentioned that KK and another former teammate, Azzi Fudd, will visit her before the season starts. Even with her rookie season kicking off, Paige will make time for her UConn family. She plans to visit the Storrs campus later this month.

The Dallas Stars game was a hit for UConn fans. Paige's presence seemed to bring good luck as the team secured a 3-1 lead, inching closer to the conference finals. Fans couldn't help but reminisce about the good old days. Comments flooded in, highlighting the special bond between Paige and KK. One fan jokingly referred to KK as the favorite child, while another reminded everyone that Ines Bittencourt holds that title.

Paige's love for sports is no secret. She's a big fan of the Mavs and the Lynx. But this time, it was different. She was in a new city, supporting a new sport. NHL fans were thrilled to see the 2021 Wooden Award winner at their game. The excitement wasn't just limited to basketball fans. Even Dallas fans invited Paige and her friends to other sporting events, showing the respect she's earned even before her rookie season starts.

KK's visit is a testament to their close relationship. They attended the Stars' game together, and KK's visit might be to help Paige relax before the Wings' home opener. All eyes will be on Paige as the first pick. The WNBA doesn't give much room for relaxation, but a little downtime before the big start can be beneficial. Paige's new chapter begins on May 16th. It's a night not to be missed.
