When the star player is loved by her teammates she is something beyond words.
She teared up after thanking her coach and her fellow players. Not from winning it.
It shows how unselfish she really is and winning player of the year or MVP is an awesome accomplishment but thanking teammates and coaches after that is unselfish!
She is a great player and a very humble grateful person. Good for her, and her team
Not to mention that she is also so pretty
She sounds and looks like a man
@@codyalexander3290 so what u never heard a girl with a deep voice ik I have
@@jamesdukes1869 I bet you get those alot 🤣
@@codyalexander3290 Always that one guy! Why are you alive?
I love that she isn’t put down by upperclassmen for being a freshman to get it. Shows real sportsmanship from her teammates
Now that's a TEAM!
My wife, who's from CT, pointed out that the UCONN women don't have their names on their jerseys. Why? Because they are a "team" in every sense of the word, and it's not about one person. That said, Paige is one outstanding player.
The team is just pure class
💯 agree , I stopped watching sports because of all the “fake woke” social justice warriors that think they can talk down on Americans that might have different opinions then them, I appreciate a beautiful team, no egos, everyone is appreciated and even cranky Geno has a smile , I am pulling for the team just because of their selfless style,
She sounds and looks like a man
@@codyalexander3290 awe little Cody hater feelings is out,
Paige is clearly someone who gives of herself to her teammates, and that's what makes a team.
This is well deserved and she is the correct pick. She is the best collegiate Women's Basketball Player I have seen in a while. Her court vision, shooting, and handles are really solid. But her character, leadership, and selflessness is what really separates her. Congrats, Paige!
I love how Geno is so been there done that, and of course just new to let her enjoy this moment with her teammates and not get in the way
Man she looks so tall off court. Anyways, well deserving. I’m a guy who watches no college sports but Paige and a couple other players made me start watching female basketball. It’s exciting.
@mark espinoza what is it? 😂
@mark espinoza agreed. But she looks taller than 5’ 11’. Probably cause I’m short 😂
Such a sweet kid.
I'm not gonna lie, I don't think I've ever seen a female as good as her, including all the WNBA players. She is amazing.
What she good but come one sue bird Diana
So you haven't seen Caitlin Clark play?
@@marksauce2383 This comment is 3 years old. Why are you replying to it now? Yes, I've seen CC play, and she is better than Paige.
She loves people 😭 she is always shedding tears when thanking her coach and the people that surround her. This is why I love Paige so much ❤
Classy young women. Her parents did a great job. That’s the type of person that makes the world better. All the best to her in the future.
*woman
Congratulations 👏. Paige bueckers you are an inspiration. Not only in sports but in life. I love paige bueckers.
CUTEST THING EVER. So happy for her and well deserved.
She deserves it after all that hard work
Great achievements ... Congratulations all the way from Waco, Texas ....
uh oh Waco in da house...yes much respect to the young lady.
This young lady has a hell of a future in the WNBA as long as she stays healthy that is for sure!
I'm looking forward to watching her last year at UCONN. One more year under Geno Auriemma sure wouldn't hurt.
She’s a superstar she definitely deserves it! Go Paige!
She definitely deserves it she was by far the best Freshman and best player in the country.
Thanks for sharing this on TH-cam. Very touching. Congrats Paige. What a humble person. Go U Conn!
I hope they win it all! Go Paige!
Paige got game well deserved
That was beautiful.
GO PAIGEYYYY💪🏾😉
Now that's what I'm talking about. The star player is a rookie freshman, and the upper class accepts the fact. That's a team and the champs to be
...maybe next year
@@RobertDGordon Haha.. Go WildCats!!
With home girl on that Uconn team I have no doubt she'll see and win a ship
i love her goat goat shes got more mamba in her then anyone keep doing what your doing make me cry we love you the world loves you glad i discovered you senior year
Gosh this made me tear up. I’m commenting 3years later but I’m glad she got recognized.
It was a wonderful shot of Geno's back as Paige's reaction was completely blocked. Great shooting!
What a team. TEAM love.
It's such a joy watching these gals on and off the court.
These kids are what it’s all about, guys! I honestly think America has forgotten how really great it is.
Shes the only player I follow in women's basketball
God - I only the nation could be a little like this team.
A baylor fan disliked❕
Baby GOAT!
When a star player makes it about the team and not about herself. Well deserved!
Stars are taught not to get caught up in the spotlight. But on a personal level , surrounded by those who love you, attention can be emotionally overwhelming.
Good for her. Wish we had her at Tennessee
Goooooo Paige Bueckers!!
The GOAT
I am excited for her future. Her next NCAA year will be amazing and she will be the #1 pick in the WNBA draft next year.
This is why they’re gonna be champs
Nope
Well deserved Miss, been following in H.S. Like said, “ Well deserved”...... Hard Work/Team !!
Beautiful moment! A lot of love in that room.
Nika’s laugh is the best.
So HUMBLE
she is amazing
She merited the award.
I’ve started watching girls bball bc of Paige Buckets! She loves the sport and she loves people and she loves the Lord. Legit stuff!
Love that girl, and love that team
GOAT
Great Player
And came up short against Arizona. So this is how random this season is. Connecticut's two losses were to Arizona and Arkansas? But they can beat South Carolina and Baylor. Imagine that.
Precious
So the national player of the year is a true freshman in the women's game.
She joins Kevin Durant, Anthony Davis and Zion Williamson as the only freshman to win player of the year. Davis is the only freshman to win the award and lead his team to a national championship.
This girl is really hyped. Hope she does justice to her expectation
Good jobs girl 🔥🔥🏀🏀
Shit, that made ME tear up
That was so cuteee
Sweet.
the women has talent
Yep, I’m in love
stoppp nika is so cute ❤
who disliked istg-
Wow...that is HUGE!!!
She is special
That’s a TEAM PLAYER
Paige “will be the greatest female to touch a basketball” I said what I said PS I still Cheryl Miller is the best ever for now!!!!!!
Whoa Vicky!!!
Born to lead.....
Congrats young lady! Looks like your hard work has paid off. Keep it up except against my Razorback! 😃
well deserved :’)
Paige 😂🤩🤩
It would've been nice if they went to the finals 😒
The angelic assassin is money
As a Uconn Fan, I love Paige but this was the worst thing she could have received. She didn’t show up tonight to help the team against Arizona! . She is no Breanna Stewart! Now she has to prove she can win three championships in a row!!?? Good luck!
She’s got what it takes man, chill out. She’s young but hungry. She’ll be a legend just you wait and see
I agree she's no Breanna Stewart. UConn was really young this year. I think UConn will almost certainly win at least 1 title with Paige there.
Paige didn't have the team Breanna did her Freshman year....situations are not the same
Hope the Media gives her room to be a kid - not likely ? Bunch of hustlers ? 🤔
The media is basically paparazzi asking stupid questions even if the players are tired
why come when I played her 1on1, she never paid ?
They will be back next year with a vengeance.
☝️
So they are social distancing then hugging let's get over this bs
Don't be a "David Downer " gfy !
This like winning gold at the special olympics
Wow. You're a real jerk. I'll bet Paige would easily kick your behind if you faced her on the court. So, what would that make YOU?
tears up but chokes in final four... cmmmmmm
Bückers
Thats what a bucket looks like in 2021
And unfortunately they lost
If I was her I make my self get drafted in the WNBA so I can make my money. I think uconn take advantage of her fame..
the wnba has an age requirement and paige doesn’t meet it
Aliyah Boston South Carolina
Tears of shame for how she treats Geno.
R u serious or is that a joke but ur a hater no doubt
What do you expect her to say on camera being recorded of course she's gonna thank her team and coach... its crazy that a team of their caliber have to be led by and carried by a freshman... what does that say about the rest of the team thats full of sophomores, juniors and seniors... rest of them girls need to step it up
full of juniors and seniors ?
check your facts friend
@@habibrakhman4265 ok they may not be full of seniors but they have several sophomores and juniors and their letting a freshman out perform them and carry them... that shows a lack of leadership and drive by the experienced players
@@chrismalik1579 I think Evina Westbrook (junior) is their leader, and she showed that through this tourney season. Just because she didn't score or assist as well as Paige that doesn't mean she was not the leader. There are much going around in and off court that we as audience or viewer of the game don't see. Heck, even if you watch previous interviews of Paige and others, they always refers that Evina is their leader. Leader isn't always top scorer or the best player in the team for that matter. Paige is just that good
@@habibrakhman4265 I never said anything about top scorer or stat leader is what makes her the leader... and nobody talks about any other girl on that team but page... even Geno has said in interviews she is the leader and the heart and soul of the team... the other girls haven't really done anything in the tournament... if it wasn't for page scoring half of uconns points against baylor with page taking most of the shots uconn would've been destroyed by baylor... they only lost because baylor lost their star point guard and page was making almost every basket she shot... I follow uconn every year and you can easily tell who their leader is... some of them girls act like they don't know how to shoot or rebound half the time... geno even said in post-game if it wasn't for page being the leader they wouldn't have won
@@chrismalik1579 yeah, fair enough, I see that too, they didn't have true leader since Lou and Napheesa I think. but I think Christyn kinda step up her game lately, except for the miss free throws against baylor. Well, I got you 😉
Did. Not. Deserve.
You. Are. A. Jerk.
much love for paige🥹💖🫶🏾
She was not the best player
AP is all wet ! Player of the year you have to be kidding, the rest of the world has another opinion.
