She now has 4.1 million followers on the platform, as Clark remains at the 4 million mark. One of her biggest moments this season came in July when she gave birth to the iconic point-finger gesture, which eventually became a viral meme.

Since then, Cunningham has been to different events, like her appearance on the UFC 329 card on July 11, when she became the co-main event’s ring girl during the lightweight match between Paddy Pimblett and Benoit Saint Denis.

On July 21, she also spoke about her stance on transgender athletes and her desire to protect girls in locker rooms.

Cunningham still needs 1.3 million followers to beat Atlanta Dream star Angel Reese, who’s currently the most followed player in the league with 5.2 million.

Sophie Cunningham has a strong case for Sixth Player of the Year Award

The second-round pick in the 2019 WNBA Draft also earned the reputation of being an enforcer on the court, as she always protects her teammates from opponents.

But Cunningham is also a spark plug off the bench, as she’s contributing 8.3 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists for Indiana in 39 games this season. This makes her a solid candidate for the Sixth Player of the Year award.

One of her most valuable contributions to the team is her ability to stretch the floor, thanks to her 43.4% shooting from downtown. This is also her career-best over eight seasons in the league.
