The WNBA players Courtney Williams and Natisha Hiedeman know how to bring chaos. The couple teammate from Minnesota Lynx, who organized a Twitch stream under the name “Stud Budz”, took over the orange carpet on Thursday to record a very chaotic first night of the WNBA all-Star weekend.

Williams and Hiedeman, who is sporty neon pink hair, started a 72-hour live stream on Twitch to cover the whole weekend, starting with the opening festivals on Thursday. And during the night the two became festive.

The couple started strongly with an interaction with WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert when Williams and Hiedeman praised Engelbert's outfit before taking the orange carpet.

They had a similar, albeit spirited interaction with the Ogwumike sisters. Nneka will start as a member of Team Collier in the All-Star game, while Chiney is there as an ESPN analyst.

And then it went on to the orange carpet, where Williams and Hiedemans started to shine chaos.

With Sydney Colson and Theresa Plaisance, the Stud Budz plunged a Yahoo Sports Livestream and led to a current debate about who interviewed whom. Then the conversation really developed when Skylar Diggins run through part -time.

The couple had viral moments on the carpet with several players, including a moment with Chicago Sky Star Angel Reese, who left them speechless.

Thursday evening, things got really wild. Williams, Hiedeman and the other WNBA players accepted the party -and the Boud Budz stream was there to conquer everything.

During the night (and the drinks flowed on), Williams and Hiedeman entertained the stream with drama, flirt, jokes … and a lot of dance.

Some of the other WNBA players came up as first-class teammates.

Even Lynx and Team Collier coach Cheryl Reeve have joined the fun, although they later jokingly tried to say that all videos of their dancing were made with the Budz stud of AI.

For Williams and Hiedeman the next morning, however, it was a completely different story.

For Williams, who had to practice as part of Team Collier on Friday morning, it might be a little worse – even though Hiedeman was right with her and kept the live stream going.

The couple was still on Friday afternoon on Friday afternoon and eventually made their way through the streets of Indianapolis with an electric scooter. They were always recognized when they made their way back to their hotel.

“It's not a way,” said a fan in the stream.

But the two were honest with their state of mind: “We have to lie down,” they said.
