Covers Everything but Basketball": Sophie Cunningham Voices Frustration With WNBA Media Nearly 2 Months After Finishing 15th in All-Star Voting

Sophie Cunningham said WNBA media coverage is failing to focus on basketball, nearly two months after finishing 15th in All-Star voting. She made the comment on the first episode of her podcast “No Hesitation” on September 11, arguing that she could be among the league’s best three-point shooters yet still rank far below stars despite strong results. All-Star voting was released July 2, 2026, with Cunningham receiving the fourth-highest vote total among Indiana Fever players, behind Aliyah Boston, Caitlin Clark, and Kelsey Mitchell. Fans chose 50% of the total, while media and players contributed 25% each. Cunningham’s fan-rank improved from 17th to 15th across returns, and she criticized popularity-driven voting as “political.” The article also notes her 43.7% career-best three-point rate in 2026 and her large Instagram following, second only to Angel Reese among WNBA players.
