Sophie Cunningham’s SI Swim Polaroids!

Modern sports, baby!

Is Sophie Cunningham a legitimate athlete, or is she an influencer / bikini model.

You can argue that WNBA is not real athletics, but they are the best in the female basketball world, so we consider her to be a real athlete.

However, her athletic career is thrown off with her influencer-ing.

She plays the social media content game, it's where she probably makes most of her endorsement money, since the WNBA had a moment that everyone has moved past and their salaries are crap.

She almost makes you feel sorry for the players who are ugly and lack engaging content, but who know how to play, because they are losing out to the blonde hotties.

Her athlete approach to social media, because she is a WNBA guard plays less basketball than she does self promotion.

Landing Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue isn't that shocking, they let anyone in who can help them stay relevant.

Plus, Cunningham is a real athlete, unlike most of the models they use.

Cunningham gave us a glimpse of some of her polaroids and some of her long legs and booty overhang.

Clearly, Sophie Cunningham is making it very clear that you don’t have to pick one lane when when charging the net, you do it all, if you're hot, which is an important life lesson.
