Theo Von asks Sophie Cunningham about on-court flirting
The basketball player's practical answer doesn't stop Von from turning a crossover into a pickup line.
Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 2,249,910 views a day, 12 times a normal first day on this channel (193,010).
She Wasn't Ready for Theo Von 😂
Sophie Cunningham is concentrating on basketball, not keeping track of who's yelling from the sidelines. Theo Von has a few follow-up questions anyway.
In an excerpt from This Past Weekend posted by the clips channel Theo Rogan Shorts, Von asks whether women flirt with Cunningham during games. She initially checks whether he means fans, then laughs as the direction of the conversation becomes clear. "Here we go again," she says.
Von briefly apologizes for returning to the subject, but soon moves from spectators to opposing players. Could someone ask for her number during play? Could a crossover double as an introduction? His imagined invitation involves crossing her up, then "uncrossing" her.
The excerpt drew roughly 2.2 million views in its first day, nearly twelve times the channel's usual opening for a Short. This is an independently edited podcast excerpt, not an upload from Von's own channel.
The comments focus on Von's persistence and the wording of his basketball pickup line. Some viewers joke about how many ways he finds to rephrase the question. Cunningham, meanwhile, gives the straightforward answer that keeps the exchange grounded: she's there to play the game.
