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","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Michael Porter Jr. recently made a claim about the WNBA that left a lot of people outraged, but…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":306787,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[629],"tags":[49,48,82,630],"class_list":["post-306786","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-wnba","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports","tag-wnba"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/306786","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=306786"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/306786\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/306787"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=306786"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=306786"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=306786"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
