Cade Cunningham didn’t dodge, pivot, or dress it up with safe wording. Asked about the Dallas Cowboys and their Super Bowl chances, the Pistons star kept it simple. “I’ve still got faith in my Cowboys,” he said during a postgame press conference, and NBA Fans immediately picked up on it.
The moment came from @IAmEricVincent, who posted, “I finally asked Cade Cunningham about his Cowboy Super Bowl prediction [laughing emoji].”

The clip showed Cunningham smiling through the answer, fully aware of how that sentence would land online.
NBA Fans reacted fast, but not in a mean-spirited way. The top responses leaned more toward understanding than roasting. @Nick_Nice21 defended Cunningham’s honesty, saying, “Super Cool of Cade to come back. And he doesn’t need to give a PR answer. He’s from there. We get it.”
That take set the tone for much of the discussion.
Another fan, @danit8191, widened the angle. “Just like Tyrese Maxey is a Dallas Cowboys fan because he was born there and we still support him no matter what,” they wrote. For many NBA Fans, hometown loyalty still matters, even when the team in question tests patience every season.
Cunningham’s comment isn’t just about football optimism. It reflects how players stay connected to where they’re from, regardless of how loud the jokes get. NBA Fans tend to appreciate that kind of honesty more than rehearsed answers meant to offend no one.
At the end of the day, NBA Fans weren’t asking Cade to break down playoff odds. They were checking if he’d blink. He didn’t, and that’s why the clip stuck.
NBA Fans Applaud Pistons’ Bounce-Back Win After Brutal Schedule Stretch
While social media joked about Cade Cunningham’s Cowboys faith, NBA Fans also had reason to talk basketball in Detroit, and this time with pride.
The Pistons knocked off the Bucks 124–112 on Saturday, December 6, 2025. The team made sure to frame it properly too. @DetroitPistons posted, “Got our get-back,” alongside the final score. The win came just days after a narrow 109–113 loss to Milwaukee on Wednesday, December 3, making the response feel personal.
NBA Fans quickly pointed out the context around the victory. @Nick_Nice21 laid it out clearly: “The Pistons played 6 games in 9 nights. They battled thru in a very prideful way. I AM PROUD OF THEM. Much deserved 6 days off.”

That stretch included games against the Magic, Heat, Hawks, two meetings with the Bucks, and a stop against the Trail Blazers.
Another reaction cut straight to the heart of it. @mtwilcox12 called it, “Revenge for the other night losing a game we shouldn’t have.”
That referred to Detroit blowing an 18-point lead in the earlier Bucks loss, something NBA Fans hadn’t forgotten.
To NBA Fans, this win wasn’t about standings or stats. It was about effort showing up after fatigue, disappointment, and little recovery time. The timing mattered. The opponent mattered. And for NBA Fans watching closely, it felt like a team learning how to answer frustration with action.
Detroit earned the quiet respect of NBA Fans with this one, and sometimes that matters more than hype.
