**Dallas, TX** – Dallas Wings rookie sensation Paige Bueckers is making waves both on and off the court. While dominating the WNBA with an impressive start to her career, Bueckers recently revealed a surprising personal detail: she absolutely *hates* seafood.
The No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 draft shared her aversion in a video posted by the WNBA on Friday, admitting that the taste and texture of seafood simply don’t appeal to her. “It’s just gross to me,” Bueckers confessed.
The 23-year-old even cited the animated film “Shark Tale” as a potential source of her dislike, suggesting the portrayal of sea creatures in the movie may have contributed to her aversion. “I think Shark Tale… like the little shrimps, it was just so sad,” she explained.
This candid revelation comes amidst Bueckers’ impressive performance in her debut season. Through her first eight games, the former UConn standout has been averaging 17.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 6.1 assists, and 1.9 steals per game. She recently made WNBA history, becoming one of the fastest rookies to reach 100 points, 25 rebounds, and 25 assists, and joining Caitlin Clark as the only rookies this season to record a 35-point game with five made three-pointers.
Beyond her culinary preferences, Bueckers also discussed the challenges of adjusting to the WNBA, including learning new terminology, adapting to a new system, and navigating the increased physicality of the league. She also noted that she is currently taking a break from social media.
While her team is still striving for consistent wins, Paige Bueckers is quickly proving why she was the top pick, both on and off the court.
