“Don’t say anything in the fives. Like, I know five is our number,” Bueckers interrupted.
“Wait, are you not like 5’11”? 5’10”?” Reese said in the follow-up, drawing an animated “No” from Bueckers.
“You guys, look how short Paige is!” Reese teased.
The video then shifted to a fun moment where both stood up, and Bueckers teased Reese and said “she has six-inch heels on,” which the Sky star playfully denied. The two then showed their game night outfit, with Bueckers wearing a simple sweatshirt and sweatpants, and Reese looking all glamorous in a dress and a fur coat.
In comparison, Angel Reese was recorded to stand at 6’3”, while Paige Bueckers stands at 6’0”. Reese is considered on the taller side for forwards in the WNBA, while Bueckers is generally considered tall for a point guard position.
The two WNBA stars were together as part of theri new marketing campaign in partnership with Hershey’s, as they are currently promoting the new product line Reese’s Oreo Cup. The new product features Reese’s and Bueckers’ jersey numbers on the packaging.
Paige Bueckers Gets Funny Remark Fro Former Coach in UConn Reunion
WNBA Rookie of the Year Paige Bueckers recently got back home to Storrs, Connecticut, for the week. She, along with Aaliyah Edwards, has contributed to practice games of the UConn Huskies, and Bueckers got a funny remark from her former coach, Geno Auriemma.
The Huskies’ head coach expressed his appreciation for the presence of the two, but gave a funny description of how it felt having Paige back.
“It was great to see Aaliyah, because we hadn’t seen her in a while, and she looks fantastic,” Auriemma said. “I mean, it was great to have her here… The other one is like having Dennis the Menace back on campus.”

But in all seriousness, Auriemma expressed how it felt having the two back, particularly Beckers, who had a thrilling final season and a championship before moving up to the pros.
“It’s great to reminisce on a lot of things. It’s great to see that they haven’t changed much, and yet, it’s great to see how different they are, just in the short time that they’ve been away.”
Paige Bueckers is expected to play next for Unrivaled, while she is off-season with the WNBA.
