“Skimm This” is a weekly news program that breaks down important stories from the past week and adds context and clarity to answer the questions on your mind. Every Thursday evening.
Paige and Azzi Hard Launch, OKC’s Gen Z Kings, and Aaron Rodgers’ (Fake) Marriage
It was a winning week for Gen-Z athletes in basketball. Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd finally hard-launched their relationship on Instagram after months of speculation. Then, the Oklahoma City Thunder won the NBA Championship with an average roster age of 24.7. Subtract a couple of pandemic years (girl math), and they’re basically 22. Their post-win celebration? Let's just say it reflected their age.
