WNBA fans were back in the replies this week after a courtside clip of Sophie Cunningham started making the rounds again.
The video came from @YESNetwork, who shared “Sophie Cunningham in the [house emoji]!” while showing her sitting courtside during the Brooklyn Nets vs. Phoenix Suns game on January 19.

It was a short clip. A quick smile. A casual moment. That was enough for WNBA fans to push it straight into timeline rotation.
The reactions, as usual, went in different directions. One comment that immediately stood out came from @JZ615nash, who wrote, “She’s hot till you see her in a bikini and see the telephone bod.”
The line got screenshotted and reshared as people debated whether it was a joke, a shot, or just another random reply thrown into the mix.
Not everyone let it slide. @SchwinginIt responded with a Will Smith Oscars GIF and the words, “Watch ya mouth JZ.”
That reply took off on its own, with WNBA fans quoting it under screenshots of the original comment.
As the clip spread, more WNBA fans jumped in with their own takes. Some focused on Cunningham simply being at the game. Others treated it like another example of how fast any post involving her turns into a comment-section free-for-all.
What stood out most was how little the original clip mattered after a few hours. The courtside moment became background noise. The replies became the story.
The YES Network clip had done its job. It put Cunningham back on timelines. And once she was there, WNBA fans handled the rest, turning one quiet courtside appearance into another loud round of reactions.
WNBA fans Flood Replies Again as Sophie Cunningham Photo Sparks Another Round of Wild Comments
The courtside clip wasn’t the only Sophie Cunningham post pulling WNBA fans into the replies. An older photo also resurfaced and quickly built its own comment storm.
@AthleticBaddiez shared an image of Cunningham wearing a shirt with bikini bottoms. No long caption. Just the photo. Within minutes, WNBA fans had filled the replies with everything from jokes to side debates that had nothing to do with the post itself.
One of the most extreme comments came from @dogestyle069, who wrote, “and the league would pick that hideous reese wh*re over her and Clark.”

The line was reposted by WNBA fans not because it reflected the mood, but because it showed how quickly a simple image can attract unrelated and hostile takes.
Other replies went in a calmer direction. @queyNew took the post and flipped it into something else entirely, saying, “I wanna know what it feels like after a back-to-back game and she played all game shit must feel good.”
That comment opened a smaller thread where WNBA fans talked about fatigue, recovery, and how players feel after heavy minutes.
As the photo kept spreading, the replies kept stacking. Compliments. Arguments. Screenshots. Random thoughts. For many WNBA fans, the image itself wasn’t even the focus anymore. The reaction to it was.
This has become a familiar cycle. A post pops up. WNBA fans find it. And within hours, the replies turn into their own separate feed of opinions.
