More on this storyline

Cunningham is amid the best stretch of his professional career, furthering a case for his first All-Star bid and making franchise history in the process. “I believe I am,” Cunningham said at his locker when asked if he thought was an All-Star. “Whenever I’m on the court every night, I feel like I’m the best player. I try to do whatever it takes to help my team win, and my teammates have made me look great this year. I’m just trying to help my team win and we’ll see what happens with it.” -via New York Times / December 9, 2024
