As anyone who’s ever seen her on the basketball court knows, Paige Bueckers is nice. But it never hurts to get a little validation, right? Bueckers co-starred with Santa in a Dick’s Sporting Goods holiday advertisement released Wednesday. The ad also featured star golfer Bryson Dechambeau, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cee Dee Lamb, and Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green. “Paige! Rookie of the Year– Nice list,” Santa says in the ad. “Swishmas came early this year.” The former Husky’s involvement in the commercial only further demonstrates her status as one of the biggest stars in sports. Bueckers averaged 19.2 points and 5.4 assists per game in winning WNBA Rookie of the Year honors this past season. She’s had a busy offseason so far, and fans won’t have to wait too long to see her take the court again.
