Indiana Fever's Sophie Cunningham ignited social media, posting a carousel of behind-the-scenes fun and on-court greatness that elicited heartfelt and side-splitting reactions from teammates Caitlin Clark and Lexie Hull.
Caitlin Clark jokingly took credit for some of the highlight shots as the viral post, frame by frame, garnered attention from fans, including videos mixing athleticism, authentic emotion, and iconic squad energy.
Sophie Cunningham's post, captioned, "What's with all the commotion lately?" had reactions from Caitlin Elizabeth Clark and Lexie Hull, who wasted no time in hyping their teammate. "Some of my flics made it huge," Caitlin Clark wrote."1 milllllliiiiii," Lexie Hull commented.
Sophie Cunningham posted a series of photos and videos from her life as an NBA player. In one photo, she is seen seated on a darkened team bus, drinking from a juice container with intense concentration on her phone. Wearing a warm WNBA sweatshirt, it's a peaceful moment revealing the travel drudgery of a professional athlete. Another picture has Sophie, donning the red Indiana Fever jersey, facing off against Las Vegas Aces phenom Kelsey Plum.
The photo is taken as she's dribbling in intense focus, her purple kicks providing a pop of color to the hot game. One more photo had Sophie, in a fired-up shot from another game, raising her arms in the middle of an argument with a referee. Teammate NaLyssa Smith seems to settle her down—classic game-day affect in front of a sold-out crowd. Taken from behind, another one included Cunningham climbing airplane stairs while dressed in full travel attire.
The jet and blue sky are the backdrop: this is the hustle life, on to the next city. Cunningham also playfully posed alongside teammate Caitlin Clark in another photo during shootaround. Sophie cradles the ball to the camera, while Clark points towards her—a moment of emerging chemistry and camaraderie. The one that stood out is a shot with the entire team huddled, Sophie in the middle, flanked by Clark, Hull, and other Fever players.
The game faces are on—unity, leadership, and fire, all in one image.Also read: Sophie Cunningham called out by WNBA for pulling Alyssa Thomas after Caitlin Clark foulSophie Cunningham's carousel was a party in celebration of the Indiana Fever's grind, grit, and development.
