If you missed WNBA All-Star Weekend 2025, go ahead and catch up, sis, because the girls did not come to play. From the skills challenge to the three-point shootout, to the fits and the fight for equal pay? It was nothing but vibes and highlights all weekend long. Whether you hoop, watch, or love women dominating in sports, this year’s All-Star Weekend proved that the W is a movement. Let’s break it down, who showed out, who made a statement, and who reminded us why the WNBA is culture. 🏀
🏆 Skills Challenge: Cloud Came for the Crown
Natasha Cloud pulled up ready to compete. The New York Liberty guard took home the 2025 WNBA Skills Challenge title, moving smoothly through the obstacle course and showing off those handles and vision. She made it look like a light workout.
🔫 Three-Point Contest: Sabrina vs. Everybody
Sabrina Ionescu is a shooter. She stepped back into the 2025 three-point contest ready to reclaim her crown, and yeah, she ate. Her form was calm, her rhythm was locked in, and she reminded everybody why she’s one of the coldest snipers in the league. Ionescu defeated defending champion Allisha Gray. This victory marks her second time winning the competition, making her only the second WNBA player to achieve this feat. Ionescu scored 30 points in the final round, while Gray scored 22. According to Sports Illustrated, she plans to donate half of her $62,575 prize money to a WNBA rookie and her foundation, while keeping the other half. That’s a real boss move.
👕 “Pay Us What You Owe Us” Shirts: The Statement Was Loud
Before the game even tipped off, WNBA players made it very clear: they’re done being quiet about the pay gap. Players walked on the hardwood wearing bold black shirts that said “Pay Us What You Owe Us.” It was a powerful moment of protest, classy, clear, and impossible to ignore. With so many players bringing in fans, views, and culture, it’s time the checks matched the impact.
🌟 The Game: Stars Lit Up Indianapolis
The All-Star Game was nothing short of a bucket fest. Team Collier vs. Team Clark had no shortage of highlight plays, crossovers, and deep threes. Napheesa Collier was out there hoopin’ like it was her playground; she was in her bag all night, dropping buckets like it was light work. She didn’t just show up to the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game; she made history. Sis dropped a record-breaking 36 points, yep, thirty-six and hit four 4-pointers like it was casual. She led Team Collier to a 151-131 dub over Team Clark and walked away with that MVP crown like it was meant for her.
Oh, and don’t sleep on Skylar Diggins-Smith. She gave us the league’s first-ever triple-double in All-Star history: 11 points, 11 rebounds, and 15 assists. Legend energy only.
🧢 Fashion, Culture, & Vibes
Let’s not forget the off-court energy. Tunnel fits? 10/10. W players gave a sporty baddie vibe all weekend long. From Angel Reese’s head-to-toe leopard-print trench coat, thigh-high slit, and A’ja Wilson’s semi-sheer maroon gown with a thigh-high split that mirrored her signature on-court leg sleeve, the W is not just basketball; it’s culture. And the way they uplift each other while staying competitive? Goals.
Stud Budz showed up and showed out at WNBA All-Star Weekend — proving once again that they’re more than a brand, they’re part of the culture.
From courtside to the tunnel, the energy was real, and the love from the hoop community was undeniable. In a space that celebrates authenticity and confidence, Stud Budz is shifting the culture and showing up unapologetically as themselves.
📣 Final Word:
This year’s WNBA All-Star Weekend wasn’t just fun — it was powerful. The talent? Unmatched. The message? Clear. And the energy? Iconic. The chemistry, the fit checks, the fun, it was everything we wanted from women’s basketball: skill, style, and showmanship. The WNBA is evolving.
