Sophie Cunningham paid homage to Kobe Bryant and completely stole the show at the same time with her latest outfit.

The Phoenix Mercury player is going viral for rocking a skimpy outfit before a game.

The 28-year-old shooting guard showed up to Footprint Center on Tuesday night, rocking nothing but a Kobe Bryant-themed sweater and seemingly nothing else underneath.

The sweater went down far enough, just past Sophie Cunningham’s butt, that fans were not able to see if she had on shorts or underwear.

It gave an awesome look at her perfect legs as she finished the look with some sunglasses and nice heels.


The Phoenix Mercury posted three pictures of Cunningham and one short video that showed her strutting her stuff as she walked into the building.

Fans absolutely loved it:


As for the actual game that Sophie Cunningham played in, the Phoenix Mercury defeated the Atlanta Dream, 74-66, to finally put an end to their three-game losing streak.

Cunningham didn’t have a ton of points, but she still scored seven on 1-for-5 from the field. She also added seven rebounds and two steals and earned a team-high plus-minus rating of 17 in 32 minutes of action, per her stats on ESPN.

Kahleah Copper was the high scorer on this night, with 28 points, followed by Brittney Griner, who had 16 points and eight rebounds.

Sophie Cunningham Mourned Kobe Bryant After His Passing

Wearing a Kobe Bryant inspired sweater was much more than a fashion statement for Sophie Cunningham.

Following his tragic passing in 2020, she took to her X account to express her condolences to the Bryant family while sharing his words with her.

“I love the feistiness you play with. That’s going to take you far.”
