Sophie Cunningham says there’s a WNBA player who ‘literally plays like a dude’
Looking at the trajectory of the game today, Sophie Cunningham has given the ultimate compliment to the Minnesota Lynx’s Olivia Miles. Drafted No.
Sophie Cunningham, a member of the Indiana Fever, has given Olivia Miles of the Minnesota Lynx a high compliment. The rookie guard, drafted second overall, has been making waves in the league since her debut. Averaging 19.7 points, 6.0 assists, and 4.6 rebounds per game, Miles has already made history by becoming the fastest player in WNBA history to reach 400 points, 100 rebounds, and 100 assists in just 22 games.
Her impressive performance has earned her MVP buzz and consideration for the U.S. women's national team at the FIBA World Cup. Cunningham, who praises her teammate, suggests that Miles' athleticism is transforming the game, noting that "people can dunk, people are fast as hell." When speaking to Colin Cowherd, Cunningham said, "She literally plays like a dude and that is no disrespect.
Like that is one of the highest compliments you can ever get." This endorsement comes at a time when the transgender debate is ongoing, but Cunningham's words, devoid of any disrespect, are seen as a genuine compliment.
