When Angel Reese walked the runway at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, Sophie Cunningham noticed it. The Chicago Sky forward made history as the first pro athlete in the show, rocking pink floral lingerie and the signature angel wings. “It was destined for me,” she said confidently before stepping out.

And let’s just say, Sophie Cunningham didn’t sit still for long. “Angel walked in it and she killed it, absolutely killed it. I texted my agents right away,” Cunningham said on her “Show Me Something” podcast. That moment sparked something she’s dreamed of since childhood.

“This has been a dream of mine since second grade. I’ve always wanted to be a Victoria’s Secret Angel. I don’t really have the boobs,” she laughed.

Cunningham jokes about it, but she’s serious. With over 1.3 million Instagram followers and 1.6 million on TikTok, she’s one of the most recognizable faces in women’s basketball.

Her admiration for supermodel Candice Swanepoel adds another layer. “I love Candice,” Cunningham said. “She’s my favorite. She’s the most stunning one. They’re all stunning. It’d be so fun to walk in that fashion show. Angel really did kill it. She looked stunning. She looked beautiful.”

Cunningham’s season wasn’t smooth. She was playing good before an MCL tear in her right knee cut her season short. Still, she averaged 8.6 points and 3.5 rebounds per game and stepped up when Caitlin Clark missed time.

Now, as she rehabs and plans her return, she’s also setting her sights on the runway. If Reese broke the door open, Cunningham might just strut right through it. Fans already love her mix of grit and charm. Seeing her on that stage next year wouldn’t surprise anyone, least of all Sophie Cunningham herself.

Because when she says she wants something, she means it.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
