Sophie Cunningham Just DESTROYED The WNBA’s Biggest LIE About Caitlin Clark

Sophie Cunningham has never been one to bite her tongue — and this time, she’s aiming straight at what she calls “the biggest lie being pushed about Caitlin Clark.”

In a viral post-practice interview that lit up social media Monday, Cunningham addressed ongoing narratives that Clark is “overhyped” or “just a marketing tool,” calling it a “lazy and disrespectful lie.”

“Let’s cut the crap,” Cunningham said bluntly. “People keep saying Caitlin is all hype. That she’s only here for ratings or jersey sales. You want the truth? She’s one of the hardest-working, toughest competitors I’ve ever shared the floor with — period.”

Her comments come after yet another standout performance from Clark, who dropped 29 points and dished 11 assists in the Indiana Fever’s win over Dallas, silencing critics who claimed her game wouldn’t translate to the pro level. But the noise hasn’t stopped — and Cunningham has had enough.

“She’s leading a team. She’s producing. She’s putting up numbers against the best in the world, all while being under a microscope 24/7,” Cunningham continued. “What else do you want from her? She’s earned every bit of the spotlight.”

The WNBA has seen unprecedented attention since Clark entered the league in 2024, with ticket sales, viewership, and merchandise hitting record highs. But with the attention has come backlash — and a narrative that she’s being protected or overly promoted by the league.

Cunningham isn’t buying it.

“People act like she was handed the hype. No — she built it. At Iowa, she earned every bit of that fanbase. And now she’s proving she belongs in this league every single night.”

Clark, for her part, responded humbly after hearing Cunningham’s comments. “I’ve always respected Sophie. She’s tough as nails. To hear that from her? It means a lot,” she said postgame.

Fans erupted online, praising Cunningham for “saying what needed to be said,” with hashtags like #CaitlinEarnedIt and #SophieSnaps trending within hours.

As the WNBA continues to evolve, one thing is becoming clear: Cunningham isn’t just defending a teammate — she’s defending the truth.

And in doing so, she just shattered one of the league’s loudest myths.
