The newest crop of WNBA stars officially learned where they will begin their professional careers on Monday night at the 2025 draft in New York City. The No. 1 overall pick was no surprise, with UConn Huskies star Paige Bueckers landing with the Dallas Wings.

Paige's presence brings another superstar athlete to the city, which is much-needed -- especially by the Dallas basketball fans -- after the shocking trade that shipped Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers.

One man who was thrilled for Bueckers is Dallas Cowboys star defender Micah Parsons, who has frequented sports games in the city and often shows his support for the Dallas franchises.
