It now feels like ages ago when Sophie Cunningham and DeWanna Bonner were teammates with the Indiana Fever last season. That was actually their second stint as teammates after they first crossed paths when Cunningham was a rookie. The pair both suited up for the Phoenix Mercury in 2019 before Bonner moved on after that season.
There appears to be some bad blood between the two, though. After Bonner forced her move away from the Fever last season, Cunningham said that the veteran never gave them an explanation.
Earlier this season, the two were involved in a heated in-game altercation. Bonner was incensed when Cunningham pointed at her. The Fever star refused to back down, and both players had to be separated. Incidentally, Cunningham’s pointing gesture blew up online and eventually became her latest meme.
Old Sophie Cunningham-DeWanna Bonner video resurfaces
A clip of Bonner and Cunningham from last season is currently making the rounds on social media. In it, a glammed-up Bonner is first seen posing for the cameras during her pregame tunnel walk. Cunningham, who had a more casual ensemble, followed her now-ex-teammate. She copied Bonner’s pose after saying, “How am I supposed to follow that today?”
The video has gone viral. As of this writing, it has amassed over 900,000 views on X.
More than a few fans on social media believe that Cunningham was trolling Bonner in the video.
“Sophie clowning that other girl..
” a comment read.
“
trolling the [expletive] outta her,” another said. “hahaha oh stop…this is too dang funny…that girl knows how to make a statement without even trying. lolol,” a suer wrote. “Maybe Sophie is the reason why Bonner asked to be traded away from the Fever,” suggested a viewer. “I love her sassiness,” said another. “Sofie should have pointed at her,” suggested a fan. She may not be the best basketball player out there, but supporters agree that Cunningham stands out because of her unique and hilarious personality.
