Aliyah Boston Corrects Caitlin Clark Saying 'Bigs Are PROBABLY Boxing Out,' Also STANDS UP for Her

#caitlinclark #wnba #Aliyahboston
Aliyah Boston demonstrated regained confidence when she gently corrected Caitlin Clark's choice of words at the interview after the Indiana Fever defeated the Washington Mystics on Wednesday night. Clark had innocently said the team's bigs "are probably boxing out."
A little later, Boston again displayed confidence as she defended her teammate when a reporter questioned Clark about turnovers.
In this video, see some of the examples of the team's defensive effort in the game.

That last moment between Aliyah and Caitlin was really wholesome ❤ Happy to see Aliyah win some confidence back.

[@taepark1970]

Great break down

[@jinku77]

They need to bench Wallace and put Hull in. She is a better defender, better rebounder and can hit shots more consistantly

[@patleith6915]

If not Hull....give Celeste Taylor a shot...she was Big Ten defensive player of the year. Actually all the players should get some playing time unless hurt. You want a well rounded team who can count on every player on your team.

[@theadriennerossshow]

I love Hull's defensive intensity, and I'm not sure why Celeste is "so bad," she can't get any playing time.

[@marilynauntmh6193]

It’s great to see the camaraderie between the players as the season progresses. They are coming together and will do great things this year. And I agree Pat Summit was the greatest. I have so much love and respect for her as a coach and person.

[@wkim22]

Aliyah is very likeable and I'm sure she'll have more fans and sponsorships and the WNBA lesbians are gonna hate on her too.

[@daveonezero6258]

If AB can figure out the pick and roll. Positioning and setting more solid screens she will just open up the whole game. She even mentioned how CC is telling her positioning and what not. And one thing we saw early is her misreading the pick and roll. This game it looked like she ifgured it out.

[@xiwenfan1765]

Coach Adrienne Ross is always articulate and passionate!

[@anner5051]

And Truthul!

[@anerby1]

First off AB is a sister in Christ which is awesome and she is a beast on the court!. I don't care what anyone says Kelsey likes Clark it's obvious she jokes around with her they're always together along with Smith

[@nomorenoless6156]

I'm not sure about Smith's loyalty as her girlfriend is on a rival team and that rival clearly has personal issue against Clark. I completely agree with the rest of your post.

[@jamesfreeman2258]

Well I see improvement, but I'm not saying her teammates are going to defend her( except Lexie & Wallace) until I see a consistent front when it comes to the opponents thugs beating up on CC.

[@Thunderheadfan5]

Try NOT calling Black women "thugs" for playing tough defense. 🙄😑​@@jamesfreeman2258

[@Thunderheadfan5]

​@nomorenoless6156 That's ridiculous. Nalyssa Smith is a necessary, talented, and very dedicated player trying to keep her team win. Don't use your bias to insinuate that shed ever compromise her team because of a personal relationship with a player on another team. That's not how the W works. Instead, thank Dijonai for helping CC see that she needed to be specific with reporters, and denounce tge people being racist in her name. Since then, the team has worked better together and have a real supportive team effort going.

[@RCsWorldOfWomensBasketball]

My heart literally melted when Boston came to Clark's aid

[@galenhammond-x4j]

She surely is trying to make up for her casual reaction to Caitlin getting knocked flat right at her feet. Her reaction was just as unacceptable as Angel Reese jumping for joy in the background.

[@MaymeIke]

@@galenhammond-x4j , I think you're over-exaggerating Boston's response. Besides, it's long past time to just move on.

[@galenhammond-x4j]

@@MaymeIke I don't know.....she became the poster child for a lackadaisical response and I bet it's haunting her, she's a very good person. I can't imagine what she was thinking although there's no mistaking what Angel Reese was. Did you notice that the next time Caitlin was intentionally fouled that three of her teammates rushed to help her up?

[@closequarters4575]

Boston seems like a big teddy bear type. I don’t know if it’s in her personality to run up on a player. But she’s only 22. As she plays longer in the WNBA she will probably develop a little bit of a mean streak.

[@theadriennerossshow]

@@galenhammond-x4j I've heard people say that. I don't think I noticed it at the time, but the message is all over, so it looks like they're getting it. Of course, they may just be growing closer with time together, which could contribute to that also. ❤

[@anneball683]

I am seeing them jelling and acting like a team. They smiling laughing with each other etc. “Team” behavior. An media finally asking questions of all not just Caitlin.

[@v2807]

I noticed that when general questions were asked, Caitlin didn’t answer. She purposely held back so her teammates could answer. She only answered when she was asked directly.

I noticed that too when I was watching the post game press conference. Aliyah's eyes when the reporter asked CC that question about the turnovers I was like oh that rubbed Aliyah wrong she didn't like that question lol. Then she spoke on it and defended her teammate. I was like yeah team chemistry going up 💪🏿

[@torigabriel6025]

I loved the teasing that Caitlin did to Aliyah as they were leaving the table. AB: ... when I have the opportunity, I'll just step back and take it. CC: Step back. AB: Just a simple step. CC: Oh no no no. Just catch and shoot. 😂All smiles from KM, AB and CC.

[@scottandtereza781]

She's right about turnovers 75% are not cc22 fault

[@galenhammond-x4j]

I love it!! They are really becoming a team. Now if they can just hit those threes.... 🙂 It'll be so much fun Sunday watching Aliyah and Smith dealing with Angel Reese. I bet Aliyah is feeling pressure.

[@alanibarra6983]

First off.... LOVE YOUR PROGRAM! Especially how you dissect each game and show things that are usually missed. Thank you!

[@cathygregory3443]

I saw Mitchell's boxing out in one of the videos today. Didn't realize, and it ups Mitchell's cred for me.

[@fredjames9867]

i still think sides isn't good enough . Clark could already be a coach with her understanding of game play

[@theadriennerossshow]

CC's basketball mind is razor sharp.

[@brianroesch3259]

It seems Cairlin Clark is already functioning as a player coach. Unannounced, but in fact.

[@thespadestable]

Being a good player doesn't make one a good coach. Most if the best coaches are the middle of the road players who had to learn the nuts and bolts of gameplay to be able to be competitive, because they had to compensate for lacking some of the gifted abilities the higher caliber players had.

[@frannyjettie]

Clark's greatness is her game IQ, she's playing chess and sees how plays can come about. Everything about her game is stellar and yet, she still has some distance to go to become truly great. And no Breanna Stewart, she does not need a national championship to be considered great.

[@theadriennerossshow]

@@thespadestable True. In fact, that used to be the overarching belief--that great players make horrible coaches.

[@jklin2987]

AB is the best. She's really upped her game AND she seems like a truly nice person.

[@terrylink7207]

AB is a class act!

[@shf4592]

Samuelson could knock down those corner 3’s, I believe. Either her or Hull, so I think one of them should start instead of Wallace. Hull is probably the better defender between the two, but Samuelson is a good screen setter. She and Temi probably set the best screens for Clark.

[@theadriennerossshow]

I love Hull's defense!

[@GeorgiaLewis65]

I agree, Wallace, Hull and Berger have not impressed me with their shooting. Therefore this allows their defensive player to drop off and let them shoot and go double team the ball. Fagbenle definitely should start and this would get Smith and Boston even faster up and down the floor

[@beckyumphrey2626]

Caitlin and team are doing great. When Temi gets back it will be awesome.

[@daz97]

That could be the game changer That could be triple doubles and MVPs and rings 😂

[@ShawnGlaze-gm4ce]

Temi runs the floor really well. Brings what Stuelke did at Iowa.

[@frannyjettie]

When I first started watching her play at Iowa (I'm from Iowa), the first thing I noticed was that her first thought when having the ball was not how she was going to get a shot off, but who was available to get the shot. She's definitely not a diva, but a team player.

One of those missed passes was because AB was held and wasn't able to take the pass. It was also not called by the refs.

[@sarademoret425]

Loved that news conference. I have been praying God will bless AB so she will have a growing platform to speak about her faith. I believe it was in this new conference that she spoke of God without even thinking about it. Also did you notice on that Wallace steal that when she got the ball to Caitlin that two defenders were coming to Caitlin and that is when AB ran into the paint and got the pass. Beautiful play involving 3 players working together. That is the kind of basketball I love.

I love this! I was hoping you would touch on this moment between Aliyah and Caitlin. Caitlin being left off the Olympic Team might have well been a slight, but I saw footage (I can’t remember if it was your channel or elsewhere) of the team going and hanging out with each other, taking pictures, etc while attending the Olympics. Maybe besides practice, they needed a chance to get more comfortable with each other just in general. I like Aliyah and hope we’ll see more great things from her, Caitlin, and the rest of the Fever. Thanks for your breakdown of the game, as usual! ❤

[@kingskidgirl2]

Adrienne, I've learned a TON from watching your videos. Thank you!! 👍🏻😀👍🏻 😊😊 In the one example you showed where AB is boxing out, I think that Mitchell actually is, too? Go girls! So many people have criticized Mitchell, even saying, "Oh she hates Caitlin!" (like they know! 🤦🏼‍♀️) but there seems to be a certain sweetness evident in Mitchell; I dunno...There's just something there about her that I want to give a chance to. My opinion - obviously conjecture, since I don't know her motivation - is that maybe it's just taken awhile to get to where she trusts Caitlin? She missed training camp, so she had to come right in to a game situation, having been kinda the team star last year and maybe not really understanding what her place is now. Maybe she's learning that CC is no threat to her and can actually be a great teammate, and friend. I hope so! Anyway, thanks again, and blessings!

Caitlin's comment on boxing out was because she's not looking to see what everyone else is doing... she's chasing the rebound and looking to push the ball to one of them! They're playing great, but they need to box out more, hustle to the ball, and I've seen a lot of standing around! If you re-watch that game... Caitlin was flying in to grab those boards! Those practices are dying WONDERS for their team! They need to let Caitlin be the point guard at all times when she's in the game... Kelsey gets that ball, and you might not get it back!

[@ronmcbride4474]

Having watched all the games, I believe that starting with the Carter flagrant foul, the significant thing that happened was the Matt Barnes, Austin Rivers, Gil Arenas and some prominent women athletes retired, all called out her teammates and asking where are you to have your teammates back. The fans can say it, but other professionals saying it carries a different weight. And it was the 2nd, Chicago game that I saw positive signs. Not only did all rush to Caitlyn after the Reese flagrant, but starting that game I started to see them all smile, and acknowledging whenever a good play was made. I had not really seen that until that game. I am sure with the whole team and the brutal schedule against the best teams and getting whacked, didn't allow for much of that. But now getting some practice in between games, that's allowed them to understand and get better at fundamentals. But of course, success breeds success.

[@libertyfarmsiowa]

I'm an Iowa native, a Hawkeye ('83) and my wife and I only started watching the WNBA because mostly of Caitlin, but also Kate Martin, but Aliyah Boston won over our hearts, which started when she was hired to be a commentator at this years past Women's NCAA Final Four tournament. Aliyah has such a captivating personality, and it was a big plus to learn about her faith, that it's so easy to support her and be a fan of her, so it was painful to watch her struggle with her confidence. What we see now, is the real Aliyah Boston, her shining light is is breaking through that old basket for the whole world to see. This is what "tough" basketball is truly looks like: playing hard, playing fair with grace, dignity, humility, and pride, always looking to support and your teammates, unlike the thuggery that seems to be posing as "tough" on so many of the WNBA teams. When women who think they are men, try to act like men in the way they see "worldly" men act, they do come off as thugs, but since they can't see or have a relationship with the Creator's spirit, all they know is the spirit of the adversary (satan) so they are never exposed to how a true man of GOD actually behaves and acts in righteousness in all situations, the toughness that comes with God's love at its core.

[@lynns7262]

They’re doing better but they still have a ways to go. There’s still some selfishness but it’s getting less and less.

This is the same AB who laughed in CC’s face when CC got hip checked during a game. The game is not won in press conferences but on the court. AB should try defending CC on the court where it matters and practice setting effective screens. AB does not get a pass from me. She is the biggest body on the team, she needs to continue to her job! Mitchell’s body language sucks during press conferences. How about she sit up and look interested.

[@ghazsibrahim1670]

Maybe this a basketball women... really seem they jealous how fan love CC so much..but hope slowly admit why CC is superstar because style playing like Steph curry and good characters

[@ghazsibrahim1670]

I said basketball women because if that happens our boy team...you know we will make sure that not happening again...but for women fighting it not for everyone... maybe

[@ItsJustMyOpinion_Really]

I’m so shocked by the WNBA players reactions to Clark’s arrival in the league. The thuggery and hatefulness directed toward Clark, THEIR MEAL TICKET, IS apparent and appalling! Especially since most of these women went to college and should have some financial understanding or awareness that professional basketball is a “BUSINESS NOT JUST A GAME!” These women are being “PAID to PLAY by the FANS WHICH INCLUDE CLARK FANS (LIKE IT OR NOT) who watch them and buy their merchandise too!” If they do not understand this is MORE than JUST a GAME THIS IS A BUSINESS and their actions have negative consequences on the BUSINESS… you would think, their agents, coaches, and the league commissioner would EXPLAIN this to them! Clark is drawing thousands of new fans to watch them play too! When these players are telling these fans “to go away” because you don’t like to hear what they are saying when you ARE acting like a spoiled child you should get what you deserve! Benched until you learn to act like an ADULT and PLAY like an ADULT! What is good for CLARK IS GOOD FOR THE WNBA AND THESE WHINER SHOULD REALIZE IT OR GO PLAY OVERSEAS where THEY BELONG!

Love your top...great lip stick color...enjoy your commentary & break down of the games...

[@raymondscilingo8052]

Thanks for a great show.

[@jbeers1234]

Everyone is talking about CC, but you are the only one talking about BASKETBALL. Love it, keep up the great insightful vids!

[@mdina958]

Coach Ross, I love your video breakdowns. 🏀

[@solraclarkin4375]

Adrienne.... you are really good in all phases of coverng the Fever. Your film breakdown of plays alone are gems. Coach Christie needs to start watching. Q: NBA players RUN to help a fallen teammate. On vicious Carter hip check... Aliyah slowly waddled to pick up CC... and had a smile on her way to her. WTF AND Dijonae who was mauling her all day appears to be the girlfr of Nalyssa Smith. You couldnt script this.😊

[@kyoung4702]

Aliyah said “WE SURE ARE” lmao that’s my girl!!! My heart exploded when I saw the look on CC face when Aliyah took up for her. But yes that’s how you know ALIYAH is a leader in that locker room, because this is a brand new team we are starting to see.

[@micro-jx8xb]

So much hate for CC! Rookie of the year Aliyah Boston didn’t learn how to set screens in college? Are you rationally saying that Dawn Staley didn’t teach her about screening for the point guard?!! Or boxing out? How about passing?

[@onthefritzfarm]

I saw Pat Summitt coach December 1998 v Tara VandeVeer/Stanford in Knoxville. We were huge fans of Summitt. Own several of her books. They are very inspiring.

[@davidcobler5705]

Great great commentary!! Your knowledge of the game and how you break it down and pick it apart truly engages my interest. Just great work on your part! You come prepared and ready to share your insightful thoughts! Your delivery is instructive and stays on point! I’ve come to expect that in every video you put out! THANK YOU!

[@brucetalley3798]

I discovered your channel about a month ago and have really been enjoying listening to your perspective and your analysis of Fever basketball. I appreciate how you explain the game and impart your knowledge to us. I look forward to your commentary after each game. Thank you!

[@OKCowgirl]

Again, enjoyed your commentary, was waiting for it:) I appreciate you giving stat report on the players that got significant minutes in this one. It helps highlight each players impact for this team. As you know, Clark’s 5 points in 14 seconds was right after Mystic’s had tied the game, momentum switch, and we know b-ball is a game of momentum. Her rebounds often converted to open paint points, this can be one of their strengths against tough opponents. In this one, Mitchell was an offensive assassin and AB owned the paint, completely frustrating the opponent. Also, Ariel Atkins was a problem, Sides tried some different defensive options and Wheeler in the 4th slowed her down. That charge she took on a made basket was a big play and again momentum stopper for Mystic’s. It was good to see Wheeler have a good game and significant contributions on offense and defense, her assists were in 4th at key times. Mystics are a better team then their record reflects, good personnel and really well coached. I love your channel and enjoy talking basketball, so I hope your good with me adding my 2 cents. I don’t know anyone personally who has your expertise to engage with about the breakdown of a game. Look forward to tonight’s game, I know you are as well!!

[@theothernatfife5004]

I don't think it's that Boston corrected Clark, but the tone in which she corrected her. Us non-fans who are just getting into the game were listening to the talk about how little Clark was liked by other teams, her coach and her teammates. As a result, I would have expected Boston's comment to be snarky and angry (even though I know nothing about her). But it is like you said, earlier in the season Boston probably wouldn't have said anything, but as the team gels and her confidence reasserts itself, she felt comfortable correcting Clark in a playful manner and new fans get to see a little clearer who Aliyah Boston is as a person. They could end up as a really dynamic partnership. Also, I finally saw the Brink ACL news and I am gutted. I originally was only following the Fever, but was just beginning to follow the Sparks because of Brink.

[@anniegarrett3242]

Great content! Everybody is playing better. I love watching their improvements from game to game too. Time together and practices making a difference!

[@itomas]

Just a quick note...you spoke of the play where Wallace stole, passed to Clark who passed to Boston. It's the "no dribble" by Boston that was meaningful to me because all too often she puts the ball on the floor under the basket and loses the opportunity. Oh...and thanks for your analysis...I'm one of the millions who are new to this game only because of Clark.

[@jillvanbodegom-smith8461]

Excellent analysis. Great visuals. The more i watch, the more i like your show. Thank you

[@patriciaalvarez3006]

Fever has some great players ❤ AB & whatever u say about CC, she is bringing recognition to other great players by default because even though CC fans r tuning for her, we r learning to recognize other great players as well.🎉🎉🎉

[@davedamiano]

Boston and Clark have their timing down. In the video, you see Boston break for the basket off of the Wallace steal. Clark fakes a step back to freeze the defender and give Boston an extra second to get open. Pass, score. They are anticipating the other's moves.

[@2muchtoomanytimes]

I could listen to Adrienne Ross talk basketball all day long. I really don't like most of the shows on TV and the "big name" podcasts because they are more about generating conflict, talking about contracts, speculating about personalities, making "dead certain" predictions that are most often wrong etc. Meanwhile Adrienne is here talking basketball and bringing people to understand things that are happening on the court. I guess some people like to hear all that other stuff and controversy but I like hearing a knowledgeable person cover things like how to get better coming off screens, being aware of the importance of positioning your feet and your body weight to get better at quickly moving your feet in order to play better defense, how to move and position better without the ball when you're on offense etc. A really great job and a pleasure to listen to Adrienne.

[@julieberckes6994]

So happy I found your show to listen too, love how you break things down and explain it.❤

[@robertward553]

Thank you, Adrienne. We see these post game interviews and gloss over some of the comments and miss exactly what is being said. You bring them to light.

[@somesinger1575]

🏀🏀🏀 Caitlin should go play overseas. Her fans would follow her, she would actually be appreciated by a league in another country, and the WNBA players, coaches, and analysts would get what they want, (which is Clark out of the league) and hopefully they would see what jealousy, anger, envy, and vitriol reaps . . . Win Win Win Win 🏀🏀🏀

[@lindsaymathews5127]

It looks like the FEVER is really starting to jell as a team...it was so nice to see Aliyah and Caitlin supporting each other.
