Fever Star Cunningham Details Viral Moment on Fox Sports Show

Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham recently appeared on a Fox Sports talk show hosted by James Corden to discuss the on-court interaction that became a cultural phenomenon. During the segment, Cunningham broke down the viral moment where she pointed at Phoenix Mercury forward DeWanna Bonner, an image that rapidly spread across social media and became a defining visual of the 2026 WNBA season.

Cunningham explained that the gesture was part of her mental approach to the sport, describing it as a strategy rooted in being “a little sassy sometimes” and the art of “getting in people’s heads.” She characterized the interaction as a “game within the game,” highlighting the psychological aspect of professional basketball. The discussion on the show even included a suggestion from a panelist that the pointing image should replace the current WNBA logo.

The interview aired on a platform operated by Fox Corporation. The media company, known for its news and sports programming, is currently trading with a market capitalization of approximately $23.46 billion. Fox stock moved lower by 1.2% in the previous session, closing at $53.97.

The Fever are set to return to the court for a matchup against the Los Angeles Sparks on Wednesday night. As the meme continues to circulate online, the team focuses on its schedule following the All-Star break coverage.
