    Jun 24 2025
    It was a winning week for Gen-Z ballers. Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd finally hard-launched their relationship on Instagram after months of speculation.

Let's just say it reflected their age. In this episode of Well Played, we also cover: The only woman who could get Stephen A. Smith to… stop talking How Sophie Cunningham stood on business — and what it reveals about WNBA reffing Tom Brady proving yet again that he’s the GOAT at Fanatics Fest How Kylie Kelce plans to help Dawn Staley’s post-coaching dreams come true Shai Gilgeous-Alexander shows why he’s league *and* dad MVP after Game 7 Blake’s IG: @blaaakkkke Caroline’s IG: @cghendy theSkimm’s IG: @theskimm PS: Did you know theSkimm has a sports newsletter?
