Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham has made headlines after revealing which Los Angeles Lakers player she believes is a more suitable comparison for her basketball performance. The WNBA player recently appeared on the No Hesitation podcast, where a discussion about NBA superstar Luka Doncic’s impressive statistics led to an interesting comparison between the two players.
During the conversation, Cunningham’s co-host Drew Hanlen compared her season statistics with Doncic’s shooting attempts and free throws. However, Cunningham humorously rejected the comparison, pointing out the huge difference in their salaries. She noted that Doncic earns around $50 million annually, while her WNBA salary is approximately $700,000.
Instead, Cunningham suggested that she should be compared with Lakers guard Quentin Grimes, as they have a more similar scoring average of around eight to 10 points. She also highlighted her three-point shooting ability and expressed confidence in her performance. Her comments have attracted attention from basketball fans and sparked further discussion about the differences between NBA and WNBA players.
