00:01An awkward moment unfolded when special guest Megan Rapinoe crossed paths with Paige Bukers
00:07during the Dallas Wings playoff game against the Golden State Valkyries. Rapinoe appeared
00:12excited to see the Wings star, but Paige's noticeably subdued reaction quickly caught
00:18fans' attention. Some fans joked that Bukers had chosen Sue Bird's side following Bird and Rapinoe's
00:34separation. The former WNBA star and Rapinoe were engaged but ended their nearly decade-long
00:41relationship earlier this year. The reaction also resurfaced another connection. Rapinoe
00:47previously used a touch more to criticize traditional sports media after a reporter
00:52directed an inappropriate relationship-focused question at Paige's teammate, Azzy Fudd, during
00:58a Dallas Wings press conference. That history only gave fans more reason to analyze Paige's awkward response.
