In Bueckers' rookie WNBA season, the duo has remained close and has often been pictured together after Dallas Wings games. In a segment on Close Friends Only by Instagram, the duo explained how they first met and came to admire one another.

Azzi Fudd's witty reply to one of Paige Bueckers' inquiries about her eyewear left her mildly annoyed but smiling.

"What is the thing that you admire about me the most?" - Paige Bueckers (From 07:15)
"What is wrong with you?," said Fudd. "Uhh, I think you're really annoying, I think you're really good at getting under people's skin. Sometimes your mascara doesn't look as good."

When Bueckers humorously asked her to name another admirable quality, Fudd gave a more candid answer and complimented her for her selflessness and loving nature.

"You're super giving," Fudd said "I like how you always make sure to put others, first. Sometimes, you can put yourself first, but I love how you take care of people around you and are super loyal to them."

Paige Bueckers' former teammate's mother remembers special memories

Paige Bueckers was blessed to play with a lot of elite talent during her time in UConn. Among her championship-winning teammates was Sarah Strong, who has taken on a bigger role for the Huskies since Bueckers went pro.

Strong's mother, Allison Feaster, took to Instagram on Wednesday to remember UConn's epic triumph against the USC Trojans in the Elite Eight of the NCAA tournament, last season.

Feaster, a former WNBA star and former director of player development for the Boston Celtics, posted a picture of her daughter dapping up Bueckers, captioned "Lord have mercy, too soon admin." She also added a headshot of LeBron James, referencing the 'Crying LeBron' meme, showing that she still felt emotional about UConn's roller coaster triumph.

USC posed a significant roadblock to Bueckers in the Elite Eight matchup, slowing down the best player on the court early on, but eventually fell away 76-64. Bueckers led the Huskies with 31 points as Strong recorded 22 points and 17 rebounds.

Azzi Fudd also left her mark, hitting clutch three-pointers to lift UConn to the Final Four.
