During an appearance on the “Like a Farmer Podcast,” Cunningham discussed the difference Bueckers and the rest of the group have made in the WNBA, while highlighting how their social media followings have helped bring more fans to the league.

“Angel Reese, Cameron Brink, Paige Bueckers, like they’re just in that generation that social media was a huge thing and they brought the collegiate fans into the W,” Cunningham said.

“And so it’s like a huge, it’s a great time to be a part of it. And so instead of being jealous, I think people should just be thankful and, you know, go make your money now.”

Despite being a fierce competitor on court, Cunningham remains one of the most outspoken WNBA players and does not shy away from showing love to individuals.
