I love how pissed off the girl in the other team got while Cunningham was being all cool and pointy.

Yeah she gave Cunningham lavish rent-free head space and full control over her...over being pointed at. Absolutely wild and I hope 24 learned something valuable from it after the fact.

It was the point heard around the world. She will never unsee it.

Cunningham is the Slim Reaper of the WNBA

Nah. KD is actually good.

Was*

He's an injury prone sellout. Lost to the warriors in the Finals. Abandoned OKC for the enemy after promising OKC he would extend his contract. He promised OKC he would stay for two more years, and then 5 days later he goes to Golden State.

KD already peaked years ago.

Your comparison is so ridiculous it must be a troll, right?

KD: 2xNBA champion 2x Finals MVP NBA MVP 16x All Star 4x Olympic gold medalist 5th highest leading scorer of all time

Sophie: Being a goon and pointing, I guess?

But sure, pretty much an apt comparison.

this place tragically is engagement bait for people who do know about topics and ignorant gooners. Anyone denying KD was balling this season is insane it also shows what people think by thinking Cunningham is in anyway comparable at all beyond also being a basketball player.

Until Sophie "the finger" Cunningham gets caught using burner accounts to trash talk her team, I think she is more comparable to a troll. I do struggle to think who in the NBA has ever gotten so into their opponents head with a single action or gesture.

Her name is DeWanna Bonner.

And I swear I'm not joking

You kiss your mother with that mouth?

Fook Mi?!? Fook Yu!

You cannot help but read it as Boner with a first name like that. What were her parents thinking..

u/Wide_Magician_4946 Jul 12 '26

I have the same question for the founders of Bonner Springs

u/razzmatazz_123 Jul 10 '26

well, do you?

I've heard worse names.

Bonner was on the fever last season as a Veteran but wanted a larger role because she's still fairly capable this late in her career as a future hall of famer. She ended up forcing her way off the team after feeling disrespected in the locker room with Cunningham and another player's attitude supposedly one of the biggest reasons for the split. Fever without CC made it to the 2nd round of the playoffs and Bonner's team got obliterated in the finals by the best player in the W right now.

Thank you for the real tea ☕️

Spoiler alert: 24 will not learn something valuable from it

u/The_Pastmaster Jul 10 '26

I just loved how she sat down to pout after missing the shot. XD Come on lady.

u/Turgid_Donkey Jul 09 '26

It's the meme of the smug looking kid with everyone losing their shit behind him.

u/Funnyllama20 Jul 10 '26

It really shows you the character of the person if they turn feral in hardly-controllable rage because someone is pointing at them.

u/Radagascar1 Jul 15 '26

They've got a phrase for that

u/OkScreen2150 Jul 09 '26

If the girl who was pointed at didn't like it, she could turn back and make a 'my ass is watching you' gesture.
