Overview

  • On Show Me Something, Cunningham said Bayless was using her name for attention after he labeled her a “shrewd operator” playing the social media game.
  • Bayless posted about Cunningham on X and YouTube, and she mocked the low view count for his video as evidence he was chasing clout.
  • Cunningham remains out for the season with an MCL tear but has stayed in the spotlight through her podcast and social media posts.
  • Her profile grew after a June 17 foul to physically defend Caitlin Clark against the Sun, with reports of rapid follower gains and multiple endorsement deals including Ring.
  • She has previously drawn WNBA fines for public criticism of officiating and for remarks about Paige Bueckers receiving favorable treatment, according to recent reports.
