Before the championships, before UConn, before marriage and baby Harper-there was 2017. Paige Bueckers, 15, and Azzi Fudd, 14, were two of the brightest young stars in women's basketball, thrown together on Team USA's U16 squad. The problem? They couldn't stand each other. Paige thought Azzi was too serious, too polished, too perfect. Azzi thought Paige was cocky, loud, and reckless. But traveling the world together meant there was no escape. Through long practices, curfews, bus rides, and the pressure of wearing red, white, and blue, their rivalry slowly began to shift. Enemies became teammates. Teammates became friends. And maybe-just maybe-something deeper was already burning between them, even if they didn't have words for it yet.

names we carry - PAIGE BUECKERS
Jackie de Valois didn't ask to leave France. She didn't ask to move to a strange neighborhood in Minnesota, or to start third grade in a language she barely knows. She definitely didn't ask to feel invisible in a house full of loud, brilliant siblings. Then she meets Paige Bueckers-her tiny, talkative neighbor with a basketball in one hand and a whole lot of confidence in the other. Paige doesn't care that Jackie mixes up English words or that she likes hockey better than dolls. Paige just shows up-sleepovers, school days, and all the little moments in between. Together, they take on, high school, college, the spotlight, and the wild, beautiful love story they created.
