If anything, Sophie Cunningham and the Indiana Fever are folding their fans’ love with both hands. Despite the team struggling to stand its ground of late, there’s no sign of their fan base backing off.
Much to the effect of the support, Cunningham has become quite the household name in the WNBA. In the seventh season of her wonderful career, her fame only increased multiple-fold with the Indiana Fever. While she is getting so much attention, the Missouri-born shooting gaurd send a strong message way back home for her fans.
Sophie Cunningham Takes Shots At WNBA Teams While Addressing Fever Fans’ Love
The Fever has not been playing at a level their loyal fans would want to see. Though there has been an overall slum in their performance lately, it’s important to channel the motivation among them. Cunningham recently took the bold route to acknowledge the love and support the whole team is getting from their supporters, just like her.
“I think we have the best fans in the whole W, and I know every team says that. But they’re lying because I’m telling the truth. We have to protect our homecourt, and when we can fire up these fans, they’re feisty, they’re sassy, they’re kinda just like me,” Cunningham said.
Although it’s amazing to note that it’s been her first season at the franchise, and how she has grown to be the next big name. Along with Caitlin Clark, it was the former Mercury star who had arenas filled to watch her over and over again.
The tickets are selling fast, her social media is growing like no other player, and there’s a lot more to this season. It would be a really phenomenal run for her to take notes. And she will almost certainly be the franchise player.
