President Donald Trump and his staff at the White House are clearly big fans of Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham because they used a recent viral clip from her podcast in a video.
On Tuesday, the White House shared a 12-second clip which started with Cunningham saying "Oop, shouldn't have said that. And I didn't say a word..." before pointing into the camera. It then switches to President Trump using a similar hand gesture as music plays over the rest of the clip.
The post has gone viral with 1.5 million views since yesterday, along with 34,000 likes, 3,800 reposts and nearly 1,000 comments.
Sophie Cunningham the WNBA Sensation
She's no Caitlin Clark, but Sophie Cunningham has built a reputation as one of the WNBA's most recognizable role players. A standout at the University of Missouri, Cunningham became one of the most accomplished players in school history before being selected 13th overall by the Phoenix Mercury in the 2019 WNBA Draft.
During her six seasons with the Mercury, Cunningham developed into a reliable scorer and floor spacer. She helped Phoenix reach the 2021 WNBA Finals and produced the best statistical stretch of her career in 2022 and 2023, averaging more than 11 points per game while shooting efficiently from three-point range. Her physical style of play, willingness to defend larger opponents, and emotional leadership made her a valuable contributor on playoff teams even when she was not the primary offensive option.
Before the 2025 season, Cunningham was traded to the Indiana Fever, where she became an important veteran presence alongside the team's young core. Through the 2025 season, she had appeared in more than 210 WNBA games and averaged roughly 8 points, 3 rebounds, and 1.5 assists per game while shooting nearly 37 percent from three-point range.
Although she has not yet earned a WNBA All-Star selection, Cunningham has established herself as one of the league's most respected role players, known for her toughness, outside shooting, and competitive edge.
