Caitlin Clark Justifies Sophie Cunningham’s Thoughts on Her With Hilarious ‘I Read Books’ Comment in Fever Video

Alright, let’s play pick your favorite. Edward or Jacob? Mr. Darcy or Heathcliff? Peeta or Gale? Harry or Draco? These aren’t just fictional crushes—they’re full-blown personality tests in disguise. But the debate heating up inside the Fever locker room right now? Conrad or Jeremiah? And honestly, you might just flip sides after hearing which one the Fever ladies are swooning over.

The Fever are clearly riding a full-blown fictional wave right now. Just a few weeks back, they brought back their hit Stranger Things-themed jersey—complete with eerie red and black colors, Demogorgon claw details, and a nod to Eleven with “011” on the waistband. It was a nostalgic throwback to their 2021 collab, and fans were all over it. Inspired by the world of Hawkins, Indiana, the jersey blends WNBA pride with Netflix-level fandom. And if that wasn’t enough… now the Fever are talking Amazon Prime too.

In a video shared by the Indiana Fever on X, the team was asked the ultimate pop culture question: Team Jeremiah or Team Conrad? For anyone out of the loop, those are the heartthrobs from Prime Video’s The Summer I Turned Pretty, based on Jenny Han’s bestselling trilogy. Most of the Fever ladies weren’t too familiar with the show—but that didn’t stop them from picking sides.

The answer that really caught fans’ attention? Caitlin Clark’s. A little animated, a little sassy, the 23-year-old went on to say, “So I don’t know what this has to do with. I don’t—I read a lot, I read a lot of books. I haven’t read this book. But I’m gonna go with Conrad because my name also starts with a C. So that’s just getting good vibes. But I’ll look into the book.” 

So now we know a little of what Sophie Cunningham meant when she said, “She’s just goofy.” 

Well, now you know where Caitlin Clark stands—she’s Team Conrad, no hesitation. So if you’re still on the fence… you might want to rethink your pick. Sure, she hasn’t read The Summer I Turned Pretty or watched the show, but that doesn’t mean her screen time is empty. Just last week, she was kicking back with Happy Gilmore 2.

But when she’s not watching movies or dropping witty one-liners, Caitlin’s pouring her heart into something bigger—books. For her 23rd birthday this year, she donated 22,000 new children’s books to kids across Iowa and Indiana, through a collab with Scholastic and her Caitlin Clark Foundation. “I remember picking out the books from the Scholastic flyer and how empowering that was for me as a child,” she shared. Now, she’s making sure the next generation gets that same spark.

Sophie Cunningham keeps it real about Caitlin Clark

Sophie Cunningham isn’t just guarding the rim—she’s guarding Caitlin Clark’s reputation, too. In a recent appearance on the Show Me Something podcast, Cunningham didn’t hold back when critics questioned Clark’s place in the league. “It literally pisses me off when people are like, ‘She’s not the face of the league.’ What?! … you’re dumb as s—, you’re literally dumb as f—.” That’s loyalty in all caps. But Sophie’s connection with Clark goes beyond just on-court defense—she sees another side of the WNBA’s brightest star.

“Everyone expects her to be a certain way, and she is on the court, but she’s lowkey a kid. She’s 23 years old, she’s like my little cousin.” Turns out, behind the highlight reels and sold-out arenas, Caitlin is just the teammate who’s always cracking jokes and keeping things light. So light, in fact, that she sometimes gets on her teammates’ nerves.

Sophie recently shared a meme on X of Clark as a trumpet-blowing kid annoying Lexie Hull and herself—captioning it, “I’ve never seen anything more true.” It’s all love though. Clark’s chaos is part of the charm.

And while Clark has been sidelined with a nagging groin injury—missing six straight games—her presence is still very much felt in the locker room. Between the goofy moments and the undeniable talent, she’s clearly the engine of the Fever. But Sophie’s playful jab and protective instincts make one thing clear: she’s got Caitlin’s back through the noise, the injuries, and yes, even the non-stop antics.
