WNBA fans went wild online after the Dallas Wings unleashed their version of "blonde baddies" following Caitlin Clark's "blonde bodyguards." The Wings are heading into the new season with Paige Bueckers at the helm after leading UConn to the national championship.
In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, one Wings fan shared a picture of Bueckers and DiJonai Carrington during the team's photoshoot for the season. Both let their blonde hair down, with the fan giving the duo a new nickname.
"Blonde baddies," the fan wrote.

Paige Bueckers comments on comparisons with Caitlin Clark
There's a lot of pressure on Paige Bueckers after getting drafted first by the Dallas Wings. She has been compared to Caitlin Clark, so there are some expectations on how her rookie season should go. However, Bueckers believes that they are two totally different players.
"In all honesty, I don't think me and Caitlin play at all alike," Bueckers told ClutchPoints' Joey Mistretta. "But I understand growing up in the same class, the same generation, both guards. … I don't know, but I don't think we play alike. But also, too, it's just not worrying about that and like I said, running my own race and staying present every single day."
Bueckers added that the comparisons were just fabricated by the media, and her focus is just on helping the Dallas Wings win. They are set to face each other four times this season, and fans are surely going to tune in on how they match up in the WNBA.
