Like many sports fans these days, AJ Dillon is locked in the WNBA, but not exactly because of Caitlin Clark.
It is actually one of her teammates – Sophie Cunningham – who has the new Eagles of Philadelphia, lying on television.
In a recent interview with PK Press Club Digital, Dillon said that he was “like all fans who became fans a week ago” when Cunningham came to the defense of Clark, who was the victim of a fault earlier in the game, in committing a blatant fault, which led to a huge scrum on the field and ejections.

Dillon said he was talking about the question about his podcast with his brother-in-law and said after having recorded that he would buy the cunningham jersey. Reports have surfaced that the cunningham jersey was out of stock, and although they were never confirmed, Dillon posted his purchase on social networks.
Dillon said that she had obtained new respect for Cunningham, that he nicknamed his “new favorite player”, to protect the best player of his team.
“Caitlin Clark is obviously the best player of this team, probably the best player in the WNBA, if not the best. You have your star player, they draw a little, but think about it like the quarter. It is our quarterrier, we will make sure that she is protected. If someone hurts Jalen, everyone will be in it. I respected that for the team.” Dillon told PK Press Club Digital.

“During that, it was just part of the game. I think the referees had a lot to do with that. It was an accumulation for a few years now, not protecting the star player of the WNBA”, Cunningham Tell to journalists A few days after the team lost against the Golden State Valkyries. “In the end, I will protect my teammates. That’s what I do.”
