"Didn’t even dream that big": Paige Bueckers opens up on her All-Star moment

Dallas Wings guard Paige Bueckers made her debut in the All-Star game on Saturday. She earned the nod after a great first half, during her rookie season, and made a great impression during the game.

However, she explained how she never dreamt of this moment during a pre-game interview.

"Definitely. Well, I actually didn't even know to dream that big. I just kind of started small with wanting to win state, wanting to play for Team USA, wanting to go to UConn," Bueckers said. (1:10 onwards) "I couldn’t even imagine my younger self thinking I’d be where I am right now. That’s why I’m just trying to enjoy it as much as I can and be present in it—because you don’t really know what you’re doing until you reflect on it. "
