A native of Buffalo, New York, Cunningham starred in both football and basketball at Canisius High School from 1950 to 1954.[1] He enrolled at Fordham where he played for head coach Johnny Bach between 1955 and 1958 because college freshmen were ineligible to play varsity sports during this era.[2] Standing {{height|ft=6|in=3}} and weighing 190 lb (86 kg), Cunningham played the shooting guard position. In just three varsity seasons he scored a then-school record 1,744 points.[3] In his senior season of 1957–58, Cunningham led the Rams to a berth in the National Invitation Tournament, where they advanced to the quarterfinals before losing to Dayton. Upon the conclusion of the season he was named an All-American as well as the recipient of the Haggerty Award.[1][3] The Haggerty Award is presented to the best male collegiate basketball player in the greater New York city area every year since 1935–36, and Cunningham was only Fordham's second-ever recipient.[4] For his career at Fordham, he averaged 22.9 points and 6.7 rebounds per game in 76 games played.[2] The NBA's Boston Celtics selected Cunningham in the 1958 NBA Draft.[5] He was taken in the third round (23rd overall) but ultimately never played in the league.[5] In his later life he coached high school basketball.[1] References1. ^1 2 {{Find a Grave|16462014|James W.
