Sophie Cunningham’s back-and-forth with veteran sports show anchor Skip Bayless continues on social media. The exchange started three weeks ago when Bayless speculated about Caitlin Clark’s prolonged stint on the sidelines due to a right groin injury. He said that Indiana Fever guard has been taking a “mental break” from the “on-court bullying” and “cheap shots.”

Cunningham responded to Bayless, calling the Fox Sports analyst’s take “bulls**t” on her “Show Me Something” podcast two weeks ago. Bayless labeled the Fever guard a “textbook clout chaser” in his show for that response.

On Tuesday, Sophie Cunningham said this to her fans in the latest episode of her podcast:

“I’ve never met you, I’ve never really listened to you. Someone sent it to me, and I was like, ‘What is this?’ He’s calling me a clout chaser? Like you’re the one that had my name plastered all over your YouTube for 36 views, like, ‘Get out of here.’”

Bayless claimed in his YouTube show two weeks ago that Cunningham took advantage of Caitlin Clark’s popularity to gain more fans and followers. He noted how Cunningham played the role of enforcer for Clark and how the former Phoenix Mercury guard defended her teammate in interviews.

Skip Bayless called Sophie Cunningham a “shrewd operator” for playing the “get-famous game” well.

For Cunningham, she doubled down on her response to Bayless that no one on the Indiana Fever lied about Caitlin Clark’s injury. Also, Cunningham has been known as a fierce competitor who defended her teammates, so her actions with the Fever are not uncommon.

Neither Bayless nor Cunningham is known to back off. Only time will tell how the social media feud will play out after the Indiana Fever star’s latest remark.

NBC dropped a huge announcement when they roped in the services of Michael Jordan. With the league returning to the network next season, NBC is said to have some big plans with the Chicago Bulls legend. While it is clear that he will be a part of the overall coverage, the media outlet has remained tight-lipped about the same. Till now, it was only known that Jordan will be acting as a ‘special contributor’ for NBC. But now, there might be some shocking details emerging.

Speaking on the topic, Alex Sherman of ‘CNBC’ provided some insight into the matter. He pointed out that the preliminary plans for Jordan are to appear in taped segments. This way, Jordan will be providing analysis on the games. These tapes are expected to be aired either at halftime or at the end of each game.

Sherman also pointed out that NBC will also keep the opportunity for Jordan’s role to evolve in the future. Extending the topic further, ‘CNBC’ also reported that the deal with Jordan was orchestrated by none other than his longtime friend, Jon Miller. Meanwhile, after landing such a huge deal, it is quite expected that Michael Jordan will be elated.

After the announcements were made, Jordan looked quite happy to have landed himself a big role.

Shedding light on the matter, Jordan stated how he was utterly excited to be working with NBC.

“I am so excited to see the NBA back on NBC,” Jordan said in a short clip. “The NBA on NBC was a meaningful part of my career, and I’m excited about being a special contributor to the project. I’m looking forward to seeing you all when the NBA on NBC launches this October.”

Thus, with things looking quite upbeat for Jordan, it now remains to be seen how things pan out in the future.
