Sophie Cunningham took exception to Brittney Sykes' VERY physical defense & retaliated with a backhand smack/slap to the face. Sykes' teammate Amanda Zahui B stepped in to help calm down Sykes. After the officials reviewed it, they gave Cunningham a technical foul. The players dap each other up after initially giving stares at each other.

Damn they don't flop like the NBA HAHA 😂😂
and damn they don't make half as much money as the NBA HAHA 😂 😂
@@iamahater9595 true haha 🤣🤣
@@iamahater9595 they should tho haha💯
@@itsmachineguntonionsoundcl8844 I don’t think anyone is truly expecting equal pay. I think they’re just tryna get an equal percentage of the revenue made by the WNBA as the men get from the NBA. Which would still be a drastically lower dollar amount but I think that’s valid. I think currently 55% of the money made by the NBA goes to the players while for the WNBA it’s like 22%
They also don't dunk like the nba 😏
whats crazy....if it was the NBA ...they woulda been flopping all over the floor, like they got hit by a car.
Okay so then maybe the woman should start flopping then cus the men's ratings are still better and get paid what there worth.
@@user-nd1cv8ku4x what they're* worth
@@user-nd1cv8ku4x huh?
Depends. If it’s against a WNBA player, then you get another version of the KAT-DeMarcus Cousins meme, if it’s against an NBA player, you got a point.
@@Hello_BeautifulPeople still…the level of people reaching comparing the wnba to nba is retarded lol, knowing damn well you’d still watch the men play over the women
the sparks athletes should tried getting into the MMA the way they’ve been fighting the whole season
@strobava fwiffo fax they for sure one of the most entertaining teams this season
lmao
This is the most ive watched WNBA because of Phoenix
@@Dollar-zb2ik she really didn't backhand her persay on purpose... y'all juicing tha contact and it was a basketball play due to the result of a foul
Too much T.
Love this game regardless of who playing. Basketball is a good place to learn conflict resolution....
Tell that to Dr. J and Larry Bird.
Sykes had it coming.
Damn that blonde is freakin gorgeous
No mention of the slap in the face at the top of the key we just have to over look that one
I agree, But both were accidents.. The first off the screen, she just had her hands high trying to get thru while the ball handler tried to pin her into the screen. She had to get thru that screen or it was a free lane.. The second, the ball handler was guarding the ball by pushing the defenders arm with her forearm.. The defender moved her arm as the ball handler came up with the arm to get the defenders arm off the ball.. This is how they should play to be honest.. NBA 80s-90s
Wrong. There was a bodycheck, not a slap, at the top of the key as the offensive player tried to get over the screen. They called the foul.
@Infomir Connection breaks this play down precisely. And also explains what physicality should be allowed in basketball and where to draw lines. Without these minimal and nonviolent allowances defending (especially elite offensive players that are allowed to stretch offensive rules) is impossible - as is evident in the NBA regular season today. Notice 2 things that support this: players with elite defender status are allowed to be more physical and it's harder to score in the playoffs largely due to looser officiating that permits more physical defending. But let's be clear, im advocating physicality not violence. Basketball is not and should never be a violent sport. But basketball is and should be a contact sport.
Definitely wasn’t any slap to the face at the top of the key. Should have been ejected for the intentional slap under the basket.
There’s many advantages being teammates with Griner. That might be an example of the biggest right there.
Having a giant dude that has your back no matter what always boosts your confidence.
If this was nba she would have been thrown out cause the person she hit would have been on the ground for 30 minutes acting like he dying
🤣🤣 you so right...
They be on the ground like Tom Hanks on ‘Big’ having a seizure…..
Who’s ratings are better tho
Something about that stare 😍 I love it
You people blowing this all up for nothing. Sophie got fouled, refs slow with whistle, play continued. Other gal hugging Sophie she tried to get free, hand slipped. Period.
What? I see all ball and the Mercury team girl tried once to off arm her and then whipped the second time to the head area either intentionally or unintentionally. Either way it’s unnecessary contact deemed deserving of a tech.
@@urboytony5028 you might want to look at it again, incidental contact.
@@ronherrin4374 I would say the same to you. Look at it once more. Sophie i guess her name is, is not being hugged. Defender hand is on ball and if offensive player wants to break free, she’s gotta give up the basketball.
@@urboytony5028 guess we have to agree to disagree. Still see Sophie getting fouled by other gal trying to break through screen. Play ended there. Have a good day
@@urboytony5028 Huh? LMAO, the defender was mugging her the whole way, beginning at the top of the key. You may want to watch that again lol.
The look afterwards is what really made it sweet
I know right? lol
Good thing it wasn’t off the job.
Which look tho
@@youngrade3484 0:33
@@PsychicThursday I gotchu😂
Like how she snuck that backhand in 😆
Sykes was fouling all during the 75 foot drive to the basket!
Especially off that screen. She nearly separated her shoulder
Yeah, it's crazy...like hits her shoulder, face, arm, wrist, leg...grabbing and swatting her the whole time then has a Look....the backhand looked more of just pushing her away.
Probably got tagged because she was under her armpit getting that WnbaQttp+ sniff action.
It almost looked like a commercial for getting rid of jock itch.
And the announcers didn't seem to say anything about the 3 to 4 fouls.
We just get to hear how women are more tougher than men amd the girls play harder than anyone ever played before playing games you play?!?
@@bakerfresh There were only two fouls and the first one wasn’t called because she was bumped into her by the screener. The second one was called. Y’all soft. 🙄
@@jwdathefax377 yall must be including the gal complaining about her foul when she did it as well as others.
I'm pointing out hypocrisy. They all gonna foul, okay.
Talking soft. I'm just saying she had no room to complain since there's was worse.
@@bakerfresh She got back slapped in the face. Of course she was going to complain. What she did was a regular foul while trying to swipe at the ball AND they called it so what are you complaining about?…..that’s why I said “soft” 😒
Tracy Elize Ross was ready to fight
Don't cry when someone plays hard back. Give some take some.
Brittany gave her that look like I wish you would 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yep; freeze it @0:34.
It’s a fight everyday in the WNBA 🔥🔥🔥🔥🙌🏽entertaining lol
Did they make any baskets?
@@joebauers3746 nope... It's a slapfest up in here!!
@@tweettweetjones1262 that's all they got going for them 😂
BG face was hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Cunningham is 🔥
I love that look she gave after she backhands her. Like what I thought we were playing front hand backhand lol.
Yea once the refs saved her
Look at BG😂😂😂😂
She was mad at that defense, that girl was on her every step. That was frustration. ! Lol lol
💯
What defense she got called for a foul
She slapped her like look at me...I'm the stud now 🤣🤣🤣
Cunningham is fkn sexy.
Womens game is way more physical than the mens game. I like that 90's Heat/Knicks battles.
LOL
Lmao
Stop the 🧢
U don’t actually watch nba ball
Lately I've been seeing black wnba players getting hit in the face by white wnba players.. Black women y’all better fight back
Ok this has to be aN agenda at this point, like they’re saying “go out there and cause some aggressive cat fights, we need rating boosts, no swings no fines..” 😂 every damn week
I came to the comment section looking for this. Seriously,I get the cat fight shit but they better not turn the WNBA into some love and hip hop shit
@@nekaneka-lo2js it’s just an awful lot all of a sudden lol it’s entertainment after all so I wouldn’t be shocked. Lol just keeps popping up in the algorithms
@@TRLchosen especially with phoenix first thing with Skylar and the girl from NY now this I think they have to create storylines to make it interesting
@@bubblegumgangster4949 yeah that’s exactly what I’m thinking lol. Whatever gets the job done I guess.
It is ! Anything to get rating the nba does it too man it’s all an agenda!
She had all ball. No foul. Terrible call. The girl driving traveled
And the slap was intentional. U could tell by the look back
It was a lot of contact starting at the screen at the top of the key.
I agree with you terrible call and it was contact at the top of the key as one person said I don't hear however the file was called when she slipped the ball down when she had all balls terrible call also and intentional slapping the face she should have been thrown out the game
Racism? In the NBA striking a player above the shoulders like that gets you ejected.
Dereck Fisher coaching
I love it! Sykes gets buckets and locks down on D too.
Like 80s pistons D? She got picked then fouled her the rest of the way
She always putting her hands on somebody pay attention
Phoenix got some baddies
@Blæck Mïrrör 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
How do you back hand slap somebody??? I been watching NBA basketball for a hot min....I dont think i have ever seen or heard of this before
Horrible should be thrown out offensive all the way so what if she swing back? Might as well if your only getting a tech…
This intensity was the reason I kept watching. No I don’t want to see a fight. But I do want to see to teams batting for a win. We need players like this on each team. Rivals and underlying pregame stories are things that keep your league interesting!!
Exactly!
I like how its not in their nature to Flop . 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
They should play "back hand / front hand" lol
The apology is "cap", teammate didn't seal the pick and she got mad,recovered and damn near blocked and ripped her at the same damn time,just great defense,rewarded with a blatant slap and free throws.Are the Sparks being targeted 🤔,this happens every other game.Suspect🕵️
Yeah it seems like great defense to me I didn't see no foul
Blocking foul before the tie up
I only saw 2 fouls on this play, The first was an illegal pick, the picker never got set in position, and the second one was just after the pick when the Phoenix player got bumped.
Shes a strong woman to keep her peace. Damn..
She had no choice...she initiated the contact...it was a basketball play...more of being overdramatic than anything else
Lol nothing about intentionally hitting someone in the face is a basketball play.
@@Tigerkem right
@@Tigerkem Exactly
@Jet LaDaDaDa Life lmao obviously you don't play organized ball
Everytime I watch the WNBA I think about climbing a tree. There's some delicious fruit at the top.
The lead commentator sounds like going through puberty and I know Sophie Cunningham won't back down to no Sykes , Sophie be whooping dat ass haha phoenix whooped!
She smacked her bcuz she almost stole the ball 🤣
…..more like, pulled her arm out the socket.
They don’t get paid enough to flop just enough to hold each other in the huddle 😂
If the officials had called a foul (they had two opportunities on sykes), that rough play wouldn't have happened as the play would have stopped.
Agree,. If they don't want that stuff to develop they could have called a foul when she ran through the pick up top or when she was grabbing on the way towards the basket. She never really had good position. Quite frankly the one they say "backhanded" the other probably just had enough and was trying to push her away. If you play agressive D you can't be pissed when somebnody pushes back. If the officials let much of the game go on like that they really helped create that.
SHOUTOUT TO SOPHIE 🙏🏾🤘🏾
Sykes should be upset about her own defense not the backhand retaliation after her slap.
The defender banged into the girl setting the pick and then was grabbing at Cunningham the whole way to the basket. If the referees called any of the early fouls then the late foul would never have happened. Basketball is supposed to be NO CONTACT.
White girl was like bitch you don’t want none of this 💨 lol.
lmfao
Only after she saw BG was close. 🤣🤣🤣
@@cmj0ker with BG on your team its hard to not want all the smoke
If nba they would riot, oops , protest the call on both ends.
Is your content being claimed? Or are you able to monetize your content?
Is that tracy ellis ross 😂
If a player forgot her maxi pad....would they go to the video replay??
They did it for you in high school
didn’t they. Or were you too busy being child labor that made the camera.
What did the 5 fingers say to the face?
The way #1 was able to calm #15 down after getting bichslapped to the dome tho... That's the difference between women & men.
LeBron would have been carted off the court. This woman built different.
She was about to cry after getting slapped. There is no slapping in basketball. Lol
All sports should implement the Hockey fighting rules.
….they trying to get some viewers😊
All Ball
Offensive Foul/Flop
Defender MVP
Bad screen, missed illegal screen then turn into GREAT Defense. Weak sauce that she got mad at Good as Defense....lol
That Sophie character been foul since college. I will never forget my team Gamecocks vs Mizzou games. 🙄
I remember. She's a very dirty player. She should have gotten ejected in that game against SC.
@Blæck Mïrrör lol
@Blæck Mïrrör Yes lol
@@timothyriggins8651 EXACTLY
Better ask South Carolina. Sophie bout that life 😂
Yea she is
Facts
Yup... Bout that "rah-rah" life.. Bout that flailing arms and dirty elbow throwing life... Please tell me this aint about Mizzou😂, cause i seen zero "bout that life" activities lol
Sophie been sucker punching folks since college. Mizzou and Carolina almost got into a brawl because of her
@@ladylele01 whatever your disdain foe Sophie. Fact is Sophie is about that life. And sykes wants no parts of it.
If thats not an offensive foul and a flagrant then i dont know what is. How was it a foul on sikes when she had all ball?
" Dont look at me like that or ill have to slap you again".
Cunningham always done that. All in her college years smh
@@savemejesusiamasinner6463 hitting ppl and not getting fouls is definitely not tough lol
@@savemejesusiamasinner6463 she is good yes but she has a problem just saying
@@vvurbajael the defender went for the ball and she tried to use her off arm to push her away and backhanded because she was frustrated. How is that tough lmao he's bugging
y'all are soft as hell
@@louiev1833 right! Just let them play, they being competitive
Sophie is my favorite player
Cunningham’s been doing this since Mizzou. Go check the footage.
Same thing crossed my mind👍
She gets away with back slapping her.... Hmmm 🤔
She got called for a T for it, announcer says at end
Refs need to do better. If they call the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd foul on that drive, there’s no issue.
Imagine going to a wnba game to be entertained lol, tf???😂😂😂
0:34 she knew what she did
1 John 4:15

Amen! 🙏
@@MJScoutArchMar Amen
@ .35 Cunningham..(Terminator) staring at Sykes like she was Sarah Connor!!!!!
Sick the ref was thick af🤦🏿♂️💀
What dignity and class. If it were the NBA itd be all "what d yuh say about my momma!" 😃🤣
Ohhh now I know Sparks behavior, look at the coach...
Nobody ever simmers up. Sykes was mugging Cunningham from the time Cunningham got the ball, refs sure waited until it devolved into physical contact before they blew the whistle.
She gets into a lot incidents stemming back in college even calling an Opposing player the N-word
Sykes didn't commit a foul tho. She cut her off and denied her from driving with her hand on the ball the whole time🤷🏾♂️
Are you blind or just a sparks fanatic
Facts and the girl driving traveled you can tell she took 3 steps before the call was made
@@tinashevengesai3011 I'm not a fanatic of any one. I don't worship men or women. I have an allegiance to the game of basketball. If anything the girl committed an offensive foul with the off hand. The defender cut her path off to the bucket and didn't use her hands to guide her, and she had 1 hand on the ball the entire time. Where's the foul?
Coulda called foul on both. Fouls started on the handoff
@@Playaflydre they called a shooting foul. That's what I meant by it was no foul. I don't see a foul after the handoff
It's tragic but I don't think the WNBA has that much time left to exist as a league.
Sykes was clearly fouling Cunningham and she fouled back. Wouldn’t get that kinda sportsmanship @ the end, or the lack of flopping in another league. WNBA is great.
I love this. The NBA is missing this. She fouled her, opponent responded, she didn't Ike the response. The toxicity at it's finest.
0:55 what the hell? derek fisher??? 🤣🤣😹😹
Wishing this could be a hate crime huh-
her name is Sophie Cunninghan and she deserves some respect. Instead of calling her "a WNBA player"
WNBA is who she is or still college 😂😂😂😂 your dieing for attention 😂hahaha
Number 9 is gorgeous as hell
Its almost like every game needs an emotion coach/counselor for when these women think they were wronged. They become emtionally unbalanced to the point where they want to physically hurt other players.....its ridiculous ...they walk around the court just looking to get triggered. Usually its the ones who are talking trash or are throwing the cheap shots
I wouldn't have apologized. Great drive to the hole 🕳 Sykes got what she was asking for aggression gets aggression.
This is the most interesting thing I've seen cone out of the WNBA
Yo she was squaring up 😂😂😂
Where the fans at? They are looking like there in the the bubble on purpose!
After the headshot off the screen to the arm across the chest/neckline at the end - backhand smack deserved. Good for both of them being physical and no nonsense tough… looked like 80’s/90’s NBA 😁
Sophie is a tough cookie
Some of these players are angry!
It's all in good love great sportsmen ship in the moment things get heated not always intentional sometimes shit happens in competitive play it's what u do after the fact I think that defines a person if u get what I'm saying
I thought I was going to be expelled!
She definitely did that out of frustration
Officials got those beats by dre tho
Derek fisher a coach didn’t even know
