Sophie Cunningham, that Indiana Fever star guard, absolutely brought back her notorious pointing meme last night, recreating it with former Phoenix Mercury teammate and pal Brittney Griner.
That Meme Moment Everyone’s Still Sharing
Seriously, this thing just lives rent-free in our heads! Cunningham, playing for the Indiana Fever, faced off against Griner’s Connecticut Sun in Indianapolis on Wednesday night. Before the game even tipped off, these two legendary pals were joking around, bringing back Cunningham’s famous pointing meme for what felt like the millionth time. It’s wild how some sports moments just break out and become iconic, right? You just know Cunningham is gonna be doing this meme for the rest of her life; it’s got that kind of staying power in this crazy attention economy.
Friendship on Pause, But the Fever Are Still Rolling Our Way
Now, Griner wasn’t actually playing on Wednesday, which is a bummer. She’s dealing with a knee injury, so she was sidelined for the game. But even though she was out of action, it was genuinely awesome to see these old friends share a laugh and reconnect pregame. That kind of camaraderie, even on opposing teams, is what makes sports so special.
And speaking of what’s next? Guess who’s headed our way, Emerald City! The Indiana Fever are playing *next Tuesday right here in Seattle*. Get ready to bring the energy, 12s, because that meme moment might just be heading to our court!
