[laughter] They keep handing over here. I think they want to talk to us. [music] You know Sophie Cunningham for her defense, her attitude, her fearlessness on the court, but nobody expected her to be this funny.
Sophie has quietly become the funniest personality in the WNBA. Here's the proof. Sophie loves trolling Dana Borner, and the way she points at her is so ridiculous, it literally became a meme.
How am I supposed to follow that today? What? What?
What? [cheering] What? What?
[cheering and screaming] [cheering] [cheering] They're the ones requesting that. They're like, "Hey, can you point? " I'm like, "Whatever you guys want.
" And so, um, yeah, I I walked in and instead of like cheers and stuff, everyone pointed. And I was like, I don't know if they set that up or what, but um, it's been really fun, um, to come in there and now they're all starting to do it. But I would, yeah, I didn't mean for that meme to even become a meme.
Um, and then it kind of just went all over the world. So, it's it's been kind of funny. That single point turned into one of the biggest memes in the league this year.
It got so big, UFC CEO Dana White actually saw it and invited Sophie to be a UFC octagon ring girl. Let that sink in. A fingerpoint turned into a UFC invite.
[music] [music] [cheering] Dana, when did you hire Sophie Cunningham as a ring card girl? Did Why did I do it? When did you hire her?
Um, about 8 minutes before she did it. I love Sophie Cunningham. We've created a relationship and she was here tonight.
And when she walked in, she goes, "Oh, I want to walk around that. " Uh, I said, "Then you're going to walk around it. " Yeah.
Then she started making fun of Diana Torz's Spanish and somehow made the whole thing even funnier. [music] [music] Do you say dog? You say dog in there.
Pedal. Oh, it's like four. Oh, but pedal.
Pedal is dog, too, right? I thought I thought you say I was a dog or something. Like a dog.
You smell like roll the arm with the petal. [laughter] I can't roll my arms, which is pedal. Pedal, [laughter] but her answers about what she would do if the WNBA screwed her over.
And the only fans question might be some of her funniest responses yet. I am. If the WNBA screws you, you'll find a plan B.
[laughter] Oh, what's it called? Not plan B. Project B.
Project B. Yes. Interesting.
[laughter] Oh my god. It's Saudi backed. Is it Saudi money?
No Saudi money involved. You're sure Saudi Arabia doesn't want to pay women millions? I mean, this situation, I don't think so.
You have so many people who support you and come to your games. Do you think you even need the leagues or could you just make money on only fans? No, I think you do need the leaks cuz that's what gives you the platform to have all these fans.
Only fans can be a platform in themselves. Maybe plan B should support that platform. Take her to an NHL game and somehow it turns into a full comedy set.
Her back and forth with her teammate Courtside had fans re-watching the clip over and over just to catch every line. Oh, I know I'm wrong when I'm the only one yelling and no one else in the crowd is unimpressed by that. Unimpressed.
This is where we want to be. Do you think they can see us, guys? [laughter] Can you hear me, R?
Yo, I think they Oh. Oh my god. I just stood up because I thought we scored.
Get a 24. Get a 24. Can you tell us my first game?
[laughter] They keep handing over here. I think they want to talk to us. You think this guy's Russian?
Absolutely. Bookster. Stand him up.
Stand him up. Oh, our goalie is nice. Yo, he is.
Come on, guys. Show us some action. Get up, buddy.
Oh my gosh. So, do we think they have plays? Huh?
They do they have plays or is it just reads? You know what I'm saying? You know what plays are these days?
Read. I know, dude. I bet their legs are so strong.
They probably do a lot of squats cuz they always like Wait, do you think there's like fat hockey players? I think the goalies are probably a little bit fatter. Take up more space in the goal.
But is it like a beer gut or is it like Cuz if you're doing this, there's no way you're fat, right? You think you just be ripped? Yeah, but the goalies don't really move.
They're just standing all day. He just went. Now that's a air ball.
Sophie doesn't just troll opponents. She gets her own team laughing, too. One West Coast comment from Sophie had Caitlyn Clark and the entire Fever Squad in literal tears of laughter.
No script, no setup, just Sophie being Sophie. Sophie, you're the best girl at heart. So coming to Indiana was not completely foreign.
What has been your favorite part about who's your hospitality? Man, I'd have to say I know I could have joked about it, but like the meatloaf, the potatoes, the fried chicken, uh biscuits and gravy, waffles. Are we talking about hospitality, right?
Yeah. I mean, we were afraid of like the kind of I love you. [laughter] I thought we were talking about being back in the Midwest when I miss people on the West Coast eat like rabbits here.
We don't. And I miss that. So, I don't know that much.
Shout out to Nemo. And the way Sophie jokes about the old ladies absolutely ruthless. [laughter] It's a [laughter] trend.
It's a trend going on. It's a big trend going on.
