Sophie Cunningham, for now, is the only player fortunate enough to team up with a former WNBA legend, Diana Taurasi, and a modern-day great, Caitlin Clark. Cunningham started her career in Phoenix with Taurasi as her point guard. She spent the first six years with the Mercury alongside the former champion before moving base to Indiana this offseason with Clark, following Taurasi's retirement.Taurasi and Clark have often been compared to each other, and they do have similarities, especially in how they think about the game. After having a deep insight into both players, probably the best, Cunningham mentioned that on Thursday, ahead of her first game back as an opponent on the Mercury's stomping grounds.Despite being on the same team as Clark, Cunningham had no issues calling Taurasi her "GOAT" (greatest of all time), putting the ex-Mercury superstar marginally ahead of her current co-star."DT will always be my GOAT," Cunningham said. "I've never met someone who thinks the game how she does. The way that she was a pro and doing her weights, her rehab, how she trained in the offseason. ... Like, I just have never seen anything like that, but the way that Caitlin thinks of the game, that's a really close second."Cunningham added that both players are always 10 plays ahead of their opponents, even though Clark is just starting compared to Taurasi, who had accomplished a lot by the time Cunningham joined her.Diana Taurasi wants Caitlin Clark's shoe to be released nextDiana Taurasi and Caitlin Clark seem to have tremendous mutual respect despite public perception. Taurasi's comments on Clark's possible struggles with transitioning into the WNBA saw her catch significant flak from the latter's supporters.However, Taurasi hasn't shied away from admitting the positives of her former younger counterpart. During an interview on Wednesday, Taurasi said that Clark should be the next player to get her WNBA shoe."Oh, Caitlin, of course," she said. "Yeah, I know she has some ... PEs, little colorways, but you could do that on Nike ID. I mean, the next Caitlin shoe should be the next one, and my kids will be wearing it."It seems like that's the direction Nike is heading in next, after a significant wait since it announced the deal with Caitlin Clark in April 2024. Nike released A'ja Wilson's shoes first, and Clark seems to be next in line.
