Old Video of Sophie Cunningham's Take About Caitlin Clark Resurfaces After Big Trade

“Oh my god. No, dude. Absolutely not. I think that she’s a gem. I’ve never really, I didn’t know her,” Cunningham said when asked if she disliked Clark.

“She’s lovely. She has a lot of pressure on her shoulders and I think a lot of people always have a lot to say about people they don’t even know or shoes they’ve never been in.”

Cunningham also spoke about Clark’s rising influence on women’s basketball.

“She’s handling the pressure very well. She has done a lot of great things for women’s basketball and I’m a fan. I would love to play with her one day, for real.”

In the interview, Cunningham further acknowledged the divide between veteran players and newer stars like Clark.

“I see both sides, she explained. "When you have older players in the league who worked so hard but didn’t get the same recognition or pay, it can create some tension. But this is amazing for women’s basketball. So many fresh eyes are on the sport now.”

Now, that statement has turned into reality as Cunningham joins Clark in the Fever.

After the trade, Cunningham reacted by posting on Instagram Story, reinforcing her excitement for the new chapter.

With the Fever reshaping their roster, Cunningham is expected to play a key role alongside Clark. The Fever will open their season on May 17 against the Chicago Sky and all eyes will be on Cunningham as she teams up with the star she once praised.
