Michael Jordan's former Washington Wizards teammate, Etan Thomas, never misses an opportunity to weigh in on the hottest topics in the basketball world. This weekend, Thomas reacted to a WNBA player's controversial take on the league's expansion.On Tuesday, Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham publicly questioned whether WNBA players would be excited to play in Detroit and Cleveland, two cities that are set to host expansion teams. The comment drew a strong negative response online, and a few days later, Cunningham addressed the backlash in an interview with Fever beat reporter Tony East."I think people totally misread the situation. I would never speak down upon middle-class, blue-collar working people. That’s where I come from," Cunningham told East. "I’m from Missouri. I get I’m in Indiana, and that’s why I’m kind of hinting at Broadway sounds fun, Sophie in Miami sounds fun."

One of these comments came from Thomas, who apparently had enough of Cunningham's opinions."Just stop talking lady lol," Thomas posted on Instagram on Sunday.Etan Thomas urges Sophie Cunningham to "stop talking."

Cleveland and Detroit are set to follow in 2028 and 2029, respectively, while Philadelphia will get its ball club in 2030."Big congrats": Michael Jordan's ex-teammate Etan Thomas shows support to Paige Bueckers and two other WNBA rookiesOn Sunday, Thomas weighed in on another piece of WNBA news: the announcement of the 2025 All-Star reserves.Included in the list were Washington Mystics rookies Sonia Citron and Kiki Iriafen.
