The WNBA offseason just got a major upgrade of star power and entertainment. In a new move considered by some fans online as the “best crossover ever”, WNBA superstar Paige Bueckers joins Kylie Kelce for a highly anticipated episode of the ‘Not Gonna Lie’ podcast.
The collaboration, teased Wednesday on their official Instagram, features the 2025 WNBA Rookie of the Year and the beloved “First Lady of Football” trading stories. In a viral teaser-clip, Bueckers jokes about the perks of being the oldest sibling, considering it the ultimate flex and cementing the duo’s status among fans as two of the internet’s favorite queens.
Why the hype is real
This linkup represents way more than just a simple meeting of two influential personalities. This podcast episode is seen as an honoring celebration of Bueckers’ historic 2025 season. Despite being a tough year for the Dallas Wings as a team holding a 10-34 record, Bueckers’ individual stats were actually a surprising anomaly, averaging 19.2 points, 5.4 assists, and 1.6 steals per game.
She set the rookie single-game scoring record with 44 points against the Sparks. Also became the first rookie ever to average 15+ points and 5+ assists while shooting over 45% from the field, and now she is dominating the 3-on-3 Unrivaled league, leading in assists (6.8) and ranking third in scoring. Impressive numbers.
A new cultural moment
For fans, this podcast is seen as a collision of two women who have mastered the art of staying true to themselves under the global spotlight. When the clip of Bueckers’ guest appearance was released, the comment section exploded.
“OH MY GOD THIS IS SO IMPORTANT TO ME,” one fan wrote. Another added, “OUR FAVORITE UNBOTHERED QUEENS TOGETHER?!”
With the episode dropping today, the sports world is ready to see what happens when someone like Paige meets the Kelce family charm.
