WNBA fans are trolling fans of Paige Bueckers for their heavy criticism of Candace Parker over the last few days. On Monday, Parker mentioned that Bueckers is nowhere near being called a two-way player, even though many others felt this way.
Parker’s remarks came freshly after Bueckers had won her first ever game in the Unrivaled for the Breeze BC. For her opinions, Parker has been massively called out on social media, but some feel that the treatment she has been receiving is pretty unfair.
“Another day and paige bueckers fans attacking a black woman. When is paige gonna speak about this.” pocha5322 tweeted.

“I don’t think her fans are old enough to know who Candace Parker is.” One fan joked.
“They could not care less!!!!!” another fan added.
“If anybody speaks about it it’s Paige. If they attack black women they likely don’t like her either.” Another fan clarified.
Candace Parker did state that while she thinks that Paige Bueckers is not yet a two-way player, she will soon get there. It looks like Parker was slightly ticked off when Bueckers’ name was tossed around with the likes of incredible two-way players like Kyrie Irving, which initiated her to start the debate.
WNBA Fans Continue To React To Tweet About Bueckers’ Fans
Many WNBA fans are continuing to react to the tweet, calling out fans of Paige Bueckers for harassing Candace Parker. Meanwhile several felt that fans of Caitlin Clark were the ones who are being racist and not that of Bueckers.
“Black women love Paige (red heart emoji) They aren’t using racist slurs and attacking the woman for being black. I only know one fanbase that does that (crying emoji)” one fan said, clearly referring to fans of Caitlin Clark and their continued attacks on Angel Reese, which have been pretty racist.
Black women love Paige ❤️

“Do you mean that mind numbing take about Paige being a ball hog? That is not a race based attack. You must either be a parody account or a CC fan.” another fan added.
“STFU. Doesn’t matter what color they are when someone sounds dumb most of the time. White or Black,” one fan announced.
Candace Parker has been known to drop controversial remarks on other W players from time to time, but this recent one about Paige Bueckers seems to have irked many fans. Bueckers has created a major fanbase of her own after just one season in the league, and is predicted to only grab more fans as her years in the W go by.
