Michael Porter Jr. recently made a claim about the WNBA that left a lot of people outraged, but Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham was not at all offended.<\/p>\n
During a recent appearance on the \u201cBall in the Family\u201d podcast, Lonzo Ball and Porter discussed the recent claim made by Patrick Beverley that a WNBA team would be good enough to beat a team of just NBA bench players. Both Porter and Ball disagreed, with Ball saying he feels he could have dominated the WNBA when he was in 9th grade.<\/p>\n
Porter took it a step further.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m probably going with 8th grade because I have real experience doing this. I played my sisters. They played at the University of Missouri and I was still a young kid. They had me playing on the scout team and they had a few WNBA players on their team like, Sophie Cunningham and a couple others. I was in the 7th or 8th grade going crazy,\u201d Porter said, as transcribed by Ballislife.com<\/a>. \u201cSo, I have real life experience. It\u2019s just a difference and I wish this would stop being a conversation because it should be common sense. I appreciate common sense. I feel sometimes that\u2019s lost a little bit.\u201d<\/p>\n Cunningham discussed the comments during the latest episode of her \u201cShow Me Something\u201d podcast. Some people were surprised to hear her agree with Porter.<\/p>\n \u201cI mean, it\u2019s probably true,\u201d Cunningham admitted.<\/p>\n Sophie Cunningham on MPJ saying he could\u2019ve beat a WNBA team when he was in 8th grade:<\/p>\n \u201cI mean, it\u2019s probably true.\u201d<\/p>\n (via @ShowMe_Pod<\/a>, h\/t @YahooSports<\/a>) pic.twitter.com\/M3wrxWytkF<\/a><\/p>\n\n
