WNBA Fans dug up an old clip that quickly reignited debate after a highlight of Paige Bueckers scoring over Sophie Cunningham resurfaced online.
The video, shared by @dannysora_, showed Bueckers creating space before finishing the play, with the caption, “she cooked her lmao.” Within minutes, WNBA Fans flooded the replies with praise, jokes, and criticism.

A large portion of WNBA Fans focused less on the move and more on the footwork leading up to the basket. @zaibastean pointed out what many believed was missed by officials, writing, “She has the Aja Whistle. She travelled.”
According to that comment, Bueckers took about four steps before the shot without putting the ball down, a detail many viewers replayed frame by frame.
Not everyone agreed. Other WNBA Fans brushed aside the travel talk and stayed locked in on how smooth the play looked. @aniyaaaxoxo summed up that side of the discussion by saying Paige “Made it look effortless too [exhale emoji].”
That reaction echoed through the thread, with fans praising her balance and control rather than the rulebook.
The clip shows how quickly old moments can spark new arguments. One short video turned into a back-and-forth about whistles, star treatment, and how certain players are judged. For WNBA Fans, this kind of split reaction is familiar territory, especially when a popular player is involved.
The debate isn’t just about one highlight or one defender. It reflects a bigger pattern where standout players draw both admiration and scrutiny at the same time. As the clip continued to circulate, WNBA Fans made it clear that even past plays can feel fresh when viewed through today’s lens.
WNBA Fans Revisit Caitlin Clark And Paige Bueckers’ First Pro Matchup After Viral Clips
WNBA Fans did not stop at one resurfaced highlight. Another wave of discussion followed after the league’s official account posted a reminder of a major moment.
@WNBA shared a clip from the opening of an Indiana Fever vs Dallas Wings game, captioned, “A moment in history. Coming in at #7…. when Caitlin Clark and Paige Bueckers matched up for the first time of their professional careers [clapping emoji].”

The post instantly triggered memories for WNBA Fans who remembered how that game played out. @FeralSwoopes asked, “This is the game where Paige had the ball stolen by Caitlin 4 times, correct?” That question brought a flood of replies confirming the moment and replaying key possessions.
Other WNBA Fans were even more direct. @Gameis_gameLFG wrote, “CC had Paige in hell that game [crying emoji] read her like a book [angry face emoji].”
The comment reflected how many viewers remembered Clark’s defensive reads and control during that matchup.
The contrast between the two viral moments stood out to WNBA Fans. One clip showed Bueckers scoring with ease, while another brought back a game where Clark disrupted her repeatedly. Together, they painted a fuller picture of how their rivalry has been viewed since the start.
For WNBA Fans, revisiting these clips is part nostalgia and part debate. Each repost opens the door to new takes, fresh arguments, and old loyalties. As more highlights resurface, the conversations around these two stars continue to grow, with every clip adding another layer to the ongoing discussion.
