This past season, the WNBA saw record viewership and attendance, and players like Sophie Cunningham took full advantage of it.
Cunningham has dazzled all season on and off the court for the Mercury with a collection of dresses and other gear to get the attention of WNBA fans.
It led to an insane amount of attention and followers on various social media sites.
The Phoenix Mercury have failed in the playoffs this year, but Sophie Cunningham is still soaking up that attention in the offseason.
This week, the star Mercury guard took to her Instagram, where she has over 251,000 followers, and posted herself in a stunning bikini.
As she laid out in the sun, Sophie Cunningham was rocking a black bikini top and blue bottoms.
“Sophie, please come home the children, and I miss you dearly,” one fan hilariously stated.
“Sophie, this photo just cured my acne, another one said.
“This is a very nice picture of you, and you are very pretty, Sophie Cunningham,” a third fan stated.
“I love it when Sophie Cunningham KNOWS she’s hot!!! AND SHOW OFF!!!” a fourth fan declared.
Sophie Cunningham Responded To Backlash Over Her Most Viral Outfit
Sophie Cunningham has been on fire with her outfit game all 2024.
The 28-year-old Phoenix Mercury guard has blown up social media with mini skirts and skimpy bikinis.
Before the Mercury home game against the New York Liberty in August, Cunningham stunned the WNBA world with a dress that showed a ton of skin and some tan lines.
She received praise but also a ton of backlash.
Cunningham had an exclusive interview with the New York Post about her style.
“The [outfits] that have went really viral, my mom [Paula] has actually picked them out,” Cunningham said during an interview with The Post while discussing Quest Nutrition’s new Bake Shop line of protein-packed sweets.
The 28-year-old said he showed her mom, and she would choose the strapless color-block mini dress that showed off her bikini tan lanes through side-cuts.
VIDEO: Some Dude Just Dropped The Cold Hard Truth On Why All Of These NFL Prospects Are “Dating White Women”
Unless this is your first day in America, then you know race relations in this country dominate just everything, and that includes NBA and NFL drafts.
During the most recent NFL Draft in Detroit, social media was buzzing as athletes showed up to the red carpet event with their girlfriends and family. Many of the incoming NFL rookies were African-American and were spotted with white women, which has become the usual theme for years.
The same thing happens with the NBA Draft.
This year, the discourse on the NFL Draft and NBA Draft has gotten even louder as African-American women openly pondered why so many of the players never have a partner that is the same race as them.
One guy on TikTok decided to answer that question by revealing that the vast majority of his division-1 friends in college or headed to the league are dating or married to white women and explained why.
He stated that some of them had told him that their white girlfriend looked up to Taylor Swift while their girlfriend looked up to Megan The Stallion. He then states the guy asks how many white women he has seen doing the Megan Thee Stallion challenge as opposed to Black women.
He then dove into another story of a friend who relayed that his Black girlfriend started to request money from him as soon as she found out about his NIL money. She wanted her hair and nails done. He then added that the Black women would be upset if they went to places like Chipotle, and she demanded steak houses.

Commissioner Roger Goodell took the stage Thursday for the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft in Detroit, and many players showed up, ready to hear their names called.
Many women online noticed that some players in the NFL Draft who were Black did not have the same color girlfriend on their arm.
Some of those players included Caleb Williams, who hit the red carpet at the 2024 NFL Draft in Detroit with girlfriend Alina Thyregod by his side.
Washington wide receiver Rome Odunze showed up with girlfriend Alannah Davidson.
Penn State left tackle Olu Fashanu had his girlfriend blocked by his mom from interacting with him after he was selected.

Former NFL running back LeSean McCoy is getting dragged online for telling on NBA legend and Hall of Famer Dikembe Mutombo as he suggested the 57-year-old was stepping out on his wife around eight years ago.
Mutombo, an eight-time All-Star who played for 18 seasons, met his wife Rose in 1995 and married her shortly after.
Speaking on his ‘25/10Show’ podcast, McCoy recalled a story about meeting a female he described as a “baddie” in Atlanta who told him she was seeing the four-time Defensive Player of the Year, who would take her on trips to France.
He said: “She told me he not that type of dude, you know he take good care of me…He don’t take me shopping, he takes me to France. I was like who is the dude? Guess what she said his name was? Dikembe Mutombo. I was like you’re taking him over me? But I get it, yeah he’s taking you shopping from PJ to France, I said babe, keep him.”
Fans Rip LeSean McCoy For Mentioning Mutombo’s Name
Fans did not appreciate Shady namedropping Mutombo, especially given that the former NBA center has been happily married for nearly 30 years.
“1. This doesn’t violate bro code cuss that’s not his bro. 2. He violated man code cuss name dropping when the situation could hurt my home is nasty. 3. It’s nasty cuss he ain’t have to say a name at all,” one wrote.
“D. Jack told him early like bro you a house wrecker. He thought he was gon get cool points for finishing the story lmao,” another pointed out.
“you must not know his actual nickname is Shady McCoy…he will name-drop in a minute,” a third suggested.
