Paige Bueckers fans are delusional — and it’s time someone said it. Caitlin Clark isn’t just better; she’s on a different level entirely.
Man… people are actually rewriting history. Like, I can’t even believe what I’m seeing on Twitter right now. Paige Bueckers fans are insane. If they watched as many games as they tweet clips, Paige would be breaking every record in women’s basketball. Seriously.
If Paige Bueckers’ fans watched actual games instead of posting 20-second highlight reels after a loss, she’d be leading the league in viewership, jersey sales, and maybe even get her own statue outside Gampel Pavilion. But they don’t. They just… don’t.
Caitlin Clark vs. Paige Bueckers Isn’t a Debate
Let’s be real for a second. What does Paige Bueckers do that Caitlin Clark doesn’t already do — and better?
- Caitlin shoots better from two.
- Caitlin shoots better from three.
- Caitlin shoots better from the line.
- Caitlin’s a better passer.
- Caitlin’s a better on-ball defender.
You know what Paige has? A cleaner-looking mid-range jumper. Congrats. What does that even mean in 2025 basketball? You’re bragging about a shot that’s less efficient than Caitlin’s logo threes. Caitlin’s 30-footer gives you more points per possession than Paige’s fadeaway 17-footer. That’s just math.
And this isn’t even about stat-padding — this is about impact. Caitlin can flip a game in two minutes. Go quiet for a half and then drop 9 points and 4 assists in a three-minute stretch. You blink and her team goes from down six to up fifteen — every single bucket involving her hands somehow. Paige just doesn’t have that kind of burst, that “I own this game now” energy.
The Reality Nobody Wants to Admit
Paige Bueckers fans love showing off her highlights against the LA Sparks like that was some generational performance. Caitlin’s had three or four games better than that already — and in wins, not stat-padding losses.
Caitlin had 31 and 12 on Barbie Night in a 30-point blowout win. She’s had 35 and 9 against Dallas. Even when she loses, she’s dropping 24 and 19 like it’s nothing. That’s not “pretty basketball.” That’s domination.
Meanwhile, after Paige’s big “statement game,” her numbers fell off a cliff. She went from averaging 19 to putting up 10, 9, 11… trying to keep her double-digit streak alive like it was a life goal. It was Angel Reese-level stat padding.
And this is where it gets comical. People were tweeting after the game, posting clips saying, “Paige outscored Caitlin!” No, she didn’t outplay her. Caitlin literally checked out mentally in the third quarter. She was cruising early, had 9 assists at halftime, was on track for a record — and then said “whatever” once the game was clearly out of hand. Paige got her buckets in garbage time.
That’s not “better.” That’s context-blind fandom.
Paige Doesn’t Look at the Basket When It Matters
You ever notice that? Paige just… doesn’t look at the basket late in games. She’ll catch, pump fake, pivot, swing. Caitlin? Caitlin’s trying to end you.
Caitlin will attack on one leg, groin strained, still find a way to hit a step-back three, draw a foul, and dish the dagger to Kelsey Mitchell. That’s clutch DNA. Paige? She never had that even at UConn. You can’t win close games when you’re scared of the rim.
And don’t even start with the “Paige’s efficiency” argument. Efficiency means nothing if it’s built on avoiding tough plays. You pass up open layups to take contested mid-ranges? That’s not efficiency. That’s stupidity. Someone’s gotta say it.
The Great Delusion
Paige Bueckers fans live in a world where every slow-motion highlight is proof of greatness. “She outscored Caitlin that one night!” Okay, and Caitlin was literally throwing touchdown passes to Sophie Cunningham and laughing on the bench. Paige was stat-padding against backups.
Caitlin Clark plays chess while everyone else is learning checkers. She processes the game faster, reads defenses better, and dictates pace like she’s running a simulation. Paige? She’s smooth, skilled, great in her lane — but her lane ain’t Caitlin’s highway.
There’s levels to this. And deep down, everyone knows it.
Conclusion
Paige Bueckers fans aren’t bad people — they’re just delusional. They see what they want to see, not what’s actually happening. Caitlin Clark is the best offensive engine the women’s game has ever seen. Paige is a great mid-range artist. That’s the difference.
So next time someone tweets a slow-mo jumper and says “better than Caitlin,” remember: Caitlin shoots better, passes better, defends better, and wins more.
You can’t argue with numbers. You can’t argue with impact.
And you definitely can’t argue with reality.
