NBA legend Dwyane Wade was hyped about Paige Buekcers' response after scoring her 2000th career point for UConn. Bueckers broke Maya Moore's record as the fastest player in the program's history to achieve the milestone. She took 102 games compared to Moore's 108. She completed the feat on Sunday in UConn's 96-36 win against the Seton Hall Pirates.

Bueckers' post-game reaction on her record went viral and caught Wade's attention on Wednesday. The Hall of Famer shared a video lauding Bueckers' "bars."

"I just really want to reward their hard work because everybody sees the 2,000 points, but nobody sees the 2,000 days of hard work," Bueckers' said. "So, it's just a testimony to everybody who's invested in me."

Wade had a heartfelt five-word comment on that interview:

"This why I love @paigebueckers."

"She's like (5-foot-6) and she's a dog," Wade said. "Averages like seven rebounds a game type dog. And when we say dog in hoops, that means something. This is a hoop term. We talking in hoop terms. It's just straight hooper's dog."
