WNBA All-Star Weekend: The 8 Best, Most Hilarious Moments You May Not Have Seen on TV


WNBA All-Star Weekend 2025 was so unserious—and fans never wanted it to end.

For three days, the WNBA’s top players gathered in Indiana to represent the league and have a good time, with festivities leading up to a face-off between two All-Star teams led by Caitlin Clark and Napheesa Collier. But this wasn’t like any other All-Star Weekend in sports.

For the first time, fans were given an inside look at the players’ perspective thanks to Courtney Williams and Natisha Heidman, a.k.a. the Stud Budz, who regularly post livestreams on their joint Twitch account. The pair decided to stream the entire weekend for 72-hours straight, bringing fans directly into practices and parties (and more parties), resulting in rare candid moments with stars like Clark, Angel Reese, Paige Bueckers, and Dijonai Carrington.

“We are so surprised, honestly, we did not know how much love we’d be getting,” Williams told USA Today of the streams’ popularity during All-Star Weekend. “I think people just love getting that behind the scenes, being so authentic, seeing players mess with us.”

If the goal of All-Star Weekend is to highlight the product of the WNBA, Williams and Heidman did that in spades, illustrating that the success and relevancy of this league does not rest on the shoulders of any one player or team—an important message as WNBA players fight for higher salaries amid CBA negotiations.

Of course, not all of the weekend’s viral moments came from the Stud Budz livestream, though plenty of them did. For the sake of keeping things PG and respecting players’ privacy as much as possible, we’re going to highlight just some of the funniest, sweetest, and most exciting moments you may not have seen on TV. Don’t worry you can find plenty more Stud Budz clips online when you’re done here.
