Sophie Cunningham names WNBA legend as dream business partner

August 20, 2026 - 03:08

Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham has a clear answer when asked which WNBA legend she would want to team up with off the court. During a recent conversation, Cunningham named Diana Taurasi as her dream business partner, and she did not stop at just a name. She painted a fairly specific picture of what that partnership might look like, and it involves a yacht.

Cunningham, known for her sharp shooting and even sharper personality, said that if she could launch a venture with any player in league history, Taurasi would be the one. She did not get into the nitty-gritty of a formal business plan, but she did mention the kind of lifestyle that would come with it. The idea of cruising on a yacht seemed to be the centerpiece of the pitch, a mix of fun and ambition that fits both players' larger-than-life reputations.

The Fever guard has always been open about her admiration for Taurasi, both as a competitor and as a figure who has shaped the league. Calling her a legend is almost an understatement at this point. Taurasi has won multiple championships, Olympic gold medals, and has been the face of the WNBA for nearly two decades. Cunningham seems to respect that longevity and the business sense that comes with it.

It is not clear if Taurasi has responded to the idea yet, but Cunningham's comments give fans a fun glimpse into how current players view the veterans who paved the way. Whether the yacht venture ever becomes real or stays a fun hypothetical, the thought of these two teaming up in any capacity is enough to spark some interest.
