Cunningham said the interaction with Reeve was civil. 

“Yeah, she just came up and I respect her for coming up in person,” Cunningham told reporters. “I think a lot of people hide behind screens and love that type of thing.

“She had stories about her point of view and I had stories about my point of view and we left with love and respect and I think that’s what it’s all about.”

Reeve shared a similar sentiment.

“I think it’s great,” Reeve said Sunday. “I think both of us understand that we have platforms and we both talked about wanting to educate, and there’s some things we have in common and maybe some things you differ on, just like any issues. I think it’s how you handle things. It was nice to be in person, for sure.”

Cunningham said that she made the comments to ESPN in February that were part of a larger feature.

While she denied disliking trans athletes, Cunningham said she feels the need to “protect young girls in the locker room.”

Cunningham implored the WNBA media to concentrate more on basketball and less on off-the-court stories.

“So, it is what it is. And like I said, we’re in the middle of the season. I’m gonna keep at that. We talk about a bunch of distraction; our team is good, my teammates are good, our locker room is great. And so, now we’re just here, about to prepare for Las Vegas. And that’s where my mind is at…,” Cunningham said.

“WNBA media, all we ever do is cover everything except basketball,” Cunningham said. “And it’s like, what are we doing?”

Cunningham also addressed the situation before the Fever’s 35-point win over the Sun on July 22.

“I said what I said, I think it’s common sense,” Cunningham told reporters. “I think I’ll always believe in that, it’s really important to protect children. And that’s little girls, who are also involved in that category. I stand by what I said and I’ll always believe that.”

“I extend love, I don’t dislike anyone, I think there’s room for absolutely everyone here,” she continued. “I think there’s room to love everyone. I truly think when you get people in the same room, you actually have a lot in common with a lot of people. … But I’m also there to love biological women, and I think there are rights that need to be protected.”
