It would be a nice story if Kyrie just randomly showed up at one of her games. She could give him some solid leadership advice while he's there
Good one
and maybe tell him the earth is not flat
@@joz9843 it was actually a lame one
Oro de David Was it? Do you follow basketball? What he did to that Celtics team was a complete disaster. Then Brooklyn proceeded to take a step back this year, but actually looked pretty good whenever Kyrie was hurt and not playing. Maybe you don’t like the joke because there is a little too much truth in it. Also, show me point guard who is shoot and dribble first, defense never, and also mentally shaky as far as toughness ... who has also led his team to a lot of success. That player doesn’t exist.
MegaGolgo13 How was he joking? He elaborated on his belief during a long form podcast, then refused to talk about it when people brought up in media scrums after games. Maybe he said he was joking to not have to talk about it, but the original talk about his belief in the flat Earth appeared to be sincere.
She better than Julian Newman 💀
I see no lies🤣
She's taller than Julian Newman
I think everybody is better than Julian Newman 😭💀
nah
I know everyone here is just mocking him but let's be real she REALLY isnt
She is one of those girls that can really help womens basketball grow. A sport that often gets dismissed by a good portion of the population. Having a face of a sport can do wonders. Hopefully once her playing career is over in a few decades she can be a great coach as well
lots of assumptions being made...ok.
I had the same hopes for Gigi. I really hope she does become the face. She's exciting to watch and the WNBA really needs someone like that. It would've been amazing to see both her and Gigi in the league at the same time. Could've done wonders for viewership.
@Ty YT ok?
@Billy Bob Not true. The WNBA just needs an NBA star's daughter to be tje face of the league and they will gain popularity.
@@LunaticTheCat Doubtful, this girl averages 24 pts in high school. Nobody is going to start watching the wnba to see her score 18 pts a game
Turns out she was really that good. First freshman ever to win AP Player of the Year. I love the hecklers who were chanting "overrated". I wonder how many points and assists she got against their team that game and whether they were still chanting at the end ... lol. At the end of the game she probably waved to them and thanked them for coming!
She’ll drop 40 on those ass haters. Most of them are far white dudes who get offended when a girl is actually good.
I think you are referring to Caitlin Carter. She was the one got heckled that way.
@@thunderswag1249 nah, Paige pretty much got more overrated-chants when she played. in the opening season, away games, sectional championship, you name it. and not to be that person, but Paige always got the gym packed more than Caitlin does when they were in high school.
If you've watched a lot of basketball, you know a baller when you see one. Paige is a baller. Can't wait to see her play for UConn.
With those handles, it's expected to have Kyrie as her favorite player.
but she's wearing SC shirts
He isn't the only one who has ever had handles lmao
With her JaVale McGee handles you mean?
@@daniell5740 She s young, that's possibly who she grew up admiring and trying to follow in his footsteps.
T F what are you talking about bro?
She's like a female luka, even walks, and runs like him
Yea, her game reminds me most of Luka. Not the fastest or flashiest, but very methodical and precise.
Her game kind of reminds me of Lamelo Ball. Both are great passers too, but can also shoot lights out.
Eh...
L Lawliet Lamelo is a terrible shooter...he literally was shooting 25% from 3 this year on 7 attempts per game, Lamelo is definitely not a shooter lmao.
@@Orbitalresonancefrequencies Maybe LaMelo can do a Lonzo
1:17. I didn’t realize the guy was displaying on a TV. I thought he was trying to show her on the laptop and she was just blowing him off. :)
😂
Me too, not going to lie.
☑️✅✔️👌
Little slow on the uptake? It was obvious she was watching a big screen.
I love her relationship with Drew. And her passing and spreading the court is so incredible
As a former high school basketball player, she makes my heart so happy. She also makes me want to get back in the gym to shoot!
“Started taking basketball seriously at 5 years old” gtfoh
lmfaoo word. who is taking anything seriously at 5 years old?
Yesnier Merced I took porn seriously at 5. But in all seriousness, musicians start at about that age usually.. 🤷🏼♂️
I guess most people who are elite at what they are doing started very early.
D K helps, but is not the only thing that matters.
@@thegoodthebadandtheugly579 Yeah, needs talent too. But generally the earliest you start learning something the best will you be at it.
I love how her little brother just reaches out for her hand at the end of the video - so sweet.
🏆
2:56 😭😭😔 Corona ruined her chance of getting her 2nd state championship, her McDonald's All American, Jordan Classic, and her chance of going to Nationals, my heart absolutely breaks
I think that she'll probably get thru this just fine.
@Khair having a pain competition isn’t cool lol , we get it there’s ppl they have rougher times all over the world. No need to pull it up like a stat
@Khair Hey I'm rly sry to hear that, I wrote this a yr ago, and we know how times have changed since then. I only wrote this comment bc I knew how excited she was to get another state title. But in hindsight you're right, it rly doesn't matter as much as ppl dying and not being able to see their families. Keep ur head up tho 🙏❤️
@Khair this isn't that bro sorry to hear that but the shit really isn't a contest
Playing on varsity as an 8th grader is wilddd. Shes grown sm through these years but just looking back at these old high school plays, it just goes to show how talented of a player she really is. I love Paige and I have loved Paige for a while now and I find myself coming back to these videos every now and then, just because I can’t get over how amazing she is and how amazing she was at such a young age.
"she played varsity in 8th grade"....wait wut..
thats pretty normal for girls sports. 7th graders play varsity hockey.
Never heard of 8th graders playing varsity, didn’t think it was allowed
yea I started varsity as a 7th grader
It’s normal for girls since girls don’t develop a large amount of muscle as they get older, so the only limiting factor is how good you are and there aren’t many girls as good as Paige.
Her body build is just like zach lavine, imo
facts lol
Her favorite player is kyrie but she shoots the ball like steph 😂
no
Man, this hit me when Kobe's name came up.
Well now Kobe’s dead what can you do
@@f0otball41 don't be disrespectful!!!
She is awesome and makes her team play better! We'll be watching you, Paige!
She is a female Larry Bird, with great shooting, passing, and confidence.
She’s gonna go far
Lol where to exactly...a 30k a year WNBA salary
@@marketdetective Euro pays them millions....
@@crimsontide420 name me one female basketball player making millions
@@marketdetective dumbass, I said in Europe
I’m just going to disregard the opinions of the simps and incels who talk trash behind their screens.
her dad one hundred percent just called Kobe "Colby" three times lol, but this girl can BALL!!
Austin Archer 😂😂
He's just got that thick Midwest accent, leave the poor man alone
Gabe nah nah nah, he def said Colby lol
😂
Big Cheese
To me a word that I think of with Paige is "inspiration" . Especially to young girls. And also to us all. She shows us all what hard work and dedication is all about.
Everything about her is awesome except kyrie is her idol
nah bro, it's actually cool cause she a girl, and what's wrong with kyrie? hah you a hater
@@nah8386 Good player, but he's not a leader.
@@Jamthecoolerator uhh does everybody need to be a leader? HAHA what if you were the leader, it's gonna be hard being you
If you're gonna talk the talk, pal, you better walk the walk. Every team he plays on does better when he's NOT in the line-up.
@@Jamthecoolerator yeah every team YOU also play on will play better without you

Another girl to UConn. Mix it up, dang!
100% Agree. I thought Stanford, might be the next Power, then Baylor, but there is still no one to Rival Geno's Machine....its Yankeesque...
Mark Grant they haven’t won I a couple years if you’ve been paying attention
they haven’t won in years
@@GregoryKeller oh yes not since '16. Within that time they've been to 12 STRAIGHT FINAL FOURS and have won 6 National Championships in 12 years! No other program can touch UCONN...
Welcome to UConn
She is fun to watch. Such talent. Glad she is at UConn.
"Why don't you purify yourselves in the waters of Lake Minnetonka" 😂 had a Chappelle's Show flashback seeing her hometown lol
She's definitely something special and if she can remain focused and healthy in the wnba,is for sure in her future.
I agree... She can go to the WNBA and be watched by literally dozens of people at every game.
@@chuckdraper7776 and wrinkly faced Chuck Draper can be seen by literally dozens of people on RUclips right?
I wish I could have had that kind of drive when I was a kid.
Every female hooper voice deep asf
@awefawef awefawef lmao you and sjw or sum
awefawef awefawef Ok Simp.
Someone dropping “dumb ugly man trash” as an insult. better watch out, it’s gonna get lit. 🎂
awefawef awefawef thank you for showing your blatant racism towards middle eastern people.
They all got dicks
Sweet layups!! That behind the back dribble was dope!!
Her nickname has got to be “buckets”.
She got solid shooting stance. Not like most wnba players who have more of the chest forced jump shot, she got the regular one which makes it so much easier and more accurate.
If Stephen Curry was a female this would literally be him
You’re wrong
umm NO
Stfu
Ethan Phan more like Steve Nash
Yh frlll
i didn't know babysitting jack jack incredible could turn you into a baller
It would be great if she came back to play pro ball in Minnesota
Fun to watch and her game is so good I'm gonna follow her career.
NCAA women's basketball is exciting because Paige is there. She attracts on-line viewers including me. I only watch selected NBA teams but everything has changed after discovering Paige on a random YT recommendation while watching Marine Johannes of France now playing for NY Liberty.
As paige basically said, I think we all should have the mamba mentality, doesn't matter if they're a basketball player or a regular person. It should be a standard for all of us to live by.
Great head on her shoulders. Great parenting and coaching.
Born leader and team hooper! Kyrie should be taking notes 😂 she’s that good. Hope she provides the hype and recognition of the WBNA needs when she gets there
Her brother loves her unconditionally ❤️♥️💛💜
Ignas Bernotas that’s actually so rude. HE’S LITERALLY LIKE 7!!!!!!
@@High1QWealth you devils keep proving me right about your kind. in a few years your wife will think different abbot her little brother LOL....100% facts this is the real reason for most of you wierdos insecurity.
Ill just say it. If you want me to watch women's basketball, I am going to need more PBs. This girl can flat out play. She is must watch TV on ESPN for me. No simple all day set shots. Paige got handles, can run the court, pass, quick release. She is about as exciting as a player as you are going to get.
Love her game
Probably the most gifted women's player in the world.
Damn those are some ferocious layups.
Dude stop 😂😂😂
__ 😂 aht, fundamentals on point
If she played against elementary school boys, she would be whooped
@@chensenhan Mommy didn't pay enough attention to you when you were little?
Because dunks count for 5 points
Just Put her in the WNBA already
Offensively she would do pretty well already, but her body and her defense will still get her destroyed on the WNBA though. She still needs to get stronger and filled out - she's only, like, 16 or something right?
Edit: turns out she's 18. But still, there is still a long time yet for her body and muscles to develop so she won't get knocked around especially in the paint on drives against WNBA forwards and centers.
NinjaMatul I’m not disagreeing with you but why wouldn’t she be able to. boys mature slower are stronger but some are still able to go after high school
UConn is bigger than the WNBA though.
Fire and Ice rather watch her handles then the WNBA 😂
I’m going to miss their team and chemistry 🧪
She has an ability to see the floor and know where her teammates will be without looking. Hence, the no look pass.
Paige is already good and Geno going to take her game to another level 💪🏿
She really is. The best female player I have ever seen.
She looks like a volleyball star ... where are the highlights though.
Same body type for both sports
Bro show more highlights, she was cooking then it stopped :/
I have never heard a female player name another female player as her favorite. Even women do not want to watch the WNBA.
ΒΞΔΝ some don’t watch the WNBA and some do.
she adores Diana Taurasi tho
So here we go again ... yawn ... rest of NCAA vs UCONN all-star team. I can coach that team with the recruits they get (unfair edge over other schools). I'll be rooting for an upset all 4 years ... the "safe" pick is UConn ... granted, you earn that offer ... and get a lot of help on the court (other top picks) ... boring though.
Yeah it’s boring winning huh
Why her brother black or Puerto Rican 🤷♂️🤣🤣
Louie Boone Idk; maybe bc we live in the 21st century, nowadays? 😳
She seems very talented and like an interesting prospect to watch - but why is the first accomplishment she talks about how many followers she has ? Shouldn't she primarily care about how good she is at playing basketball, how far she managed to carry her team, how much her PPG, APG, win shares etc. increased ? I don't want to single her out, because I think that most "generation z" players might think that way, but it still irks me to care about the fame more than about the game.
They need to lower the baskets a foot like they do the nets in volleyball for women. They would get a ton more spectators. Imagine women’s volleyball with men height nets and women who could hardly spike a ball...if at all. That would be lame. But we ask for women to use the same height hoop? Doesn’t seem right...
wakawaka1976 no they don’t need to lower it. I mean people would still complain either way, like rn people are saying that they need to lower the rims so they can start dunking more which they should work for and if they were to lower the rims people would say that it’s too easy for them.
Sports are fleeting & momentary; best for kids to focus on academics. My brother was an elite hockey player - toughest sport to master; far more technically challenging than hoops. Rugby is another sport that commands respect for its toughness. Many of these talented kids get injured & that’s it ... parents invest way too much stock in sports & lose sight of studies.
future 5x finals mvp for the chi Sky
It’s a shame most woman basketball players aren’t as good as she is otherwise maybe the WNBA would actually be entertaining. I don’t mean to be rude but it’s really true.
I love one of the highlights is her taking a charge
Sad that all kids worry about is how many followers they have.
Hailey Van Lith Next
Hailey has game for sure, but she's just too small.
Glad to see she really stepped out on a limb with her college choice and went to...UConn. The worst thing about women's college basketball (and this is saying a lot) is the concentration of power.
Not bad! You know who’s even better though?
Dudes.
Paige has a great touch on her shot & it reminds me of Maya Moore. Honestly, I see Paige leading UCONN to a #1 ranking over the next four years. It's very possible she could lead their teams to 100+ consecutive wins, she's a born leader. Best of luck Paige, I'll be watching your UCONN season opener & I can't wait! Should be a lot of hype for that game! Best of luck in college!
Wow. I'm looking forward to seeing her get even better.
Well hopefully womanly development doesn't get in her way. It often can.
This girl is seriously going to bring in hundreds of dollars to the uconn basketball program.
...but can she cook?
Shera da Puth don’t start 😭
I know I’m gonna attacked for asking this but whatever. Why do girls look at ground when dribbling to the basket
1:28 love the attitude
the way her tiny brother is sitting next to the dad saying absolutely nothing 😭
Damn shes got the potential to earn thousands
Dang... That's cold 😆
Nuby29 umm that doesn’t have any thing to do with what she’s gonna make... the average salary for the WNBA now is 130000 and I’m pretty sure she’ll be a star, Nd top players in the WNBA can Max their contract to over 500k... 🌚
reciv4 well if speaking facts makes me a simp, then so be it
Never ceases to amaze me, the talent!!! These women make it look so hard.
Just wait until she hits the WNBA, she'll be making $30,000 a year, easy.
GramOfAdderall you savage... 😂😂😂
@GramOfAdderall but the average WNBA salary is over $100,000 isn't that funny u jealous little man
Prince Snowblood Getting this mad over a joke post. That’s a yikes.
@@GramOfAdderall nobody's mad I'm just giving u the reality
Let's see how good she is when Tyrone..I mean tyronna decides to start playing😁😁
But is she Steffany Curry with 40 inch vertical?
Damn she fine (;
best girl player ever..... still in the bottom 10% of all highschool boy ballers....
take this with levity
When her achievements are the amount of followers you have
instagram generation...
People talking like all she does is layups...she can shoot. And it’s not a push shot like you see a lot of girls having to throw up there.
Her relationship with Drew 🥺🥺
She’s gunna go on to make thousands.
I so love her 😂
Can someone sing this with me
It’s workin cus you knowww
THAT SHOULD BE MEEE
(I saw a video of Paige singing it so now it’s stuck in my head)
A slightly above average dude of equal height would undoubtedly win a 1v1
That’s super false i play at a big ten university’s rec and there are a good amount of solid players and she would definitely clown on dudes
Play defense.... that's all. A good basketball player that can only shoot is only half the equation. I'm not saying she's bad, that's dishonest, i have a buddy that I would put $k's on vs this girl.
Ps: I gave you a big thumbs up for not calling me a sexist or whatever crybaby label some emotionally unstable idiot would say
Grey Ford yea i totally understand your point due to the athleticism difference but she seems to be a legit 6’1 and way quicker than many dudes of the same height...not saying she would be every dude but from my experience she could definitely beat a majority of high school and college casual ballers. I know dudes that would cook her too for sure though
Grey Ford also she doesnt just shoot...her passes are out of this world and i think she could play slow allowing her to create a ton of nice things. She may lose a lot of 1v1 possibly but would definitely stand out in a 5v5 many times (and I’m talking about above average hoopers, maybe dudes who played varsity but weren’t amazing, not actual collegiate hoopers)
@@michaelkiesling4641 boys two years younger would make her quit basketball. Athletisim and strength are a huge difference between boys and girls. It's a joke to think that she would beat any basketball player her age
I'm lucky to live 25 minutes away from Storrs so I'll be making a few trips out there next season.
She 🔥
Why do all of the girls sound like they have chewed up food in their mouth when they talk?
When an ugly girl plays basketball:
STAY IN THE KITCHEN!!!
When a pretty girl plays basketball:
Stay on the grind homie 💯💯💯!!!! Good luck!!!! You can BALL!!!!
:/
is she that pretty though? lol. I don't care how women or men look... if they play great i'm a fan! but i'm a female and maybe less shallow then the dudes commenting on here
dat future Bron/Larry Bird type player...can't wait 'til she ends up in 2K. (:
2:32 lmao are you sure that’s your kid
I’m wrong but lmao your so smart I see what you did there
He is taking care of him, gave him a family, a home so he is his kid even if genetically he isn't.
probably a new mom
@@budgettech5526 I thought he was genetically his. Because her stepmom is black and has another kid that is Paige's age.
Clark Townsend oh ok. I just assumed since she was white her mom and dad were white and then she had a mixed kid
Paige is a straight up baller. All that talent plus that grit equals star. She is going to be one to watch over the next decade.
By far the best at layups coming up
Unfortunately the WNBA may not be around when graduates
Concerned Citizen I just farted
Sister in Christ giving glory to God everytime motivatea me
fuck your invisible space being
Congrats on all the success. On the flip side, it's a sad day when the majority of these up and coming athletes take so much pride in followers and certified check marks.
She's an beast🙄🏀👌🏽💯👽🛸🏀
Anyone noticed thar she wears SC Tshirt while saying kyrie is her favorite player. She know SC is the best PG😃
An Sung it’s a camp t-shirt... we all remember 2016 Kyrie is better
She looks good but well see in college cause it's a different competition
