WNBA Draft - English
In a recent TikTok video, UConn basketball star Azzi Fudd was seen dancing alongside Olympic gymnast Sunisa Lee and TikTok creator Anna Frey.
While the trio’s dance moves garnered attention, it was Fudd‘s necklace-a heart-shaped pendant featuring the number “5”-that truly captivated fans.
The number corresponds to the jersey worn by Fudd‘s close friend and former teammate, Paige Bueckers, during her time at UConn and now with the Dallas Wings in the WNBA .
The video quickly went viral, with fans taking to social media to express their excitement and speculate about the necklace’s significance.
Comments ranged from playful to emotional, with one fan noting, “Now Paige….. lol she don’t need a necklace with ur number,” and another adding, “This is so cute I’m crying.”
The consensus among fans is that the necklace serves as a subtle tribute to Bueckers, highlighting the deep bond between the two athletes.
A Bond Forged on and off the Court
Azzi Fudd and Paige Bueckers‘ friendship dates back to their high school years, where they first connected through USA Basketball.
Their bond strengthened at UConn, where they played together and supported each other through injuries and triumphs.
Even after Bueckers declared for the WNBA Draft, Fudd remained by her side, attending the draft and celebrating her friend’s achievements.
The necklace, whether intentionally symbolic or not, has become a focal point for fans who admire the duo’s friendship.
It serves as a reminder of their shared experiences and the support they continue to offer each other, even as their professional paths diverge.
As Fudd prepares for the upcoming college basketball season and Bueckers embarks on her WNBA career, fans will undoubtedly continue to watch their journeys with interest.
The viral TikTok and the buzz surrounding the necklace underscore the impact of their relationship, both on and off the court.
