Sophie Cunninghamgave life to a new meme during their 86-77 win against the Phoenix Mercury on June 22.
The 6-foot-1 guard had a quiet game, finishing with only two points off of free throws. She shot 0-of-5 from the field in 26 minutes off the bench. Despite that, they secured a win over her former team.
However, Cunningham was involved in a pointing match with DeWanna Bonner after the Mercury forward got physical with Caitlin Clark. It was during that heated altercation that the meme was born.
In less than a week, the now-infamous meme has blown up on social media. One notable addition to the rapidly growing list of meme users is John Cena.
