At the 2025 WNBA Draft on Monday night, Paige Bueckers dished about how she celebrated after winning the NCAA Championship just over a week ago. Spoiler: It involved a very large DoorDash order and a lot of chicken.
When talking to sports content creator Aliyah Funschelle on the orange carpet, the No. 1 draft pick told Aliyah that she ordered Wingstop via DoorDash the night of the big win. Paige even pulled up the actual DoorDash receipt and it was hilariously mind-blowing. Per the receipt, Paige ordered 400 boneless wing packs (which include large fries, veggie sticks, dipping sauces, and more) that totaled up to be exactly…$540.72. See it for yourself:
I have so many questions! For starters, who did she share 400 wings with? Are they still eating them today? There surely must be leftovers, no? Did she use an alias for her delivery? What’s her favorite flavor? Does she not respect the sanctity of the classic bone-in wing? How did her Dasher Jose carry all of this in???
Unfortunately, we didn’t get answers to any of those Very Important Questions, but when Aliyah asked Paige how many times she uses DoorDash within a week, Paige gave the realest response: “I don’t want to tell you because it’s embarrassing, but at least probably five times.” She continued: “It’s probably the most used app on my phone.” Never thought I could relate to a No. 1 draft pick, but alas!
To emphasize what LSU star Flau’jae Johnson once said to Paige: I guess that NIL money is, indeed, treating her well. And we love this for her!
