Sophie Cunningham has become a social media sensation. The WNBA player always seems to know what to say, how to say it, and when and where to make his comments. In addition to playing on the court with Kaitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever, she has also made quite a name for herself. Before becoming popular, Cunningham played college basketball at the University of Missouri. In four seasons with the Tigers, Cunningham started 129 times and averaged 17 points, 5.4 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game, which is a good all-around figure. They led to the Phoenix Mercury selecting her with the 13th overall pick in the second round of the 2019 WNBA draft.
