Cowherd asked Cunningham if she sees it fair that she’s considered the league’s sex symbol. The veteran sports analyst also highlighted the 30-year-old’s toughness on the court and her outfits ahead of games.

“Hey, that is way better,” Cunningham said. “I thought you were going to go somewhere completely different with this. So I’ll take it… It’s not for me. The reason why I really lean into that is, first of all, I have always been super girly. Since a little girl, I’ve always loved to dress up. I love dresses, I love high heels, I love all of that. You can be girly and you can go out and kick someone’s a**. I love that combination. You can go and dress a little more masculine and go out there and still kick a**.

“There’s not one way to do it right. So I feel like that I am just showing that you can have both. Now that we have so many eyes on everything that we do, why would I not maximize my opportunity? Because if people are seeing how I dress, well, guess what? That’s business. I have a very kind of business mindset at times, but at the end of the day, I also just like to be a girl and I like to dress up and I like to look a certain way.”
