What I like most about Boston, not only is she a big, but she PLAYS big. An old school post player who gets most of her points in the paint, who uses her size and strength to her advantage. On top of that, she has a nice mid-range jumper when needed.

Yes, Congratulations Aliyah! I knew it. You are going to be the greatest WNBA player of all time. Whoever doesn't believe me, just keep watching!

[@JordanWilson-ze5lg]

From the looks of it you’re right ….. she is so 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@markjohnson-sl9qf]

CC is the best.

[@pk70305]

On her way to becoming the greatest ever!!! Boston is the best!!

[@azianchick3529]

I really wish I would've known about Aliyah Boston sooner. I would have watched every game in her rookie season. Love her personality and just her as a person. #7 🔥🔥🔥. I hope AB will do some fun stuff in the off-season like an interview or two. Love learning new things about this beautiful, precious young lady.

Yassss ma’am Ms. Aliyah Boston ROTY❤🎉 much deserved - she’s one of my favorite Gamecocks and now favorite player in the W - she’s fun to watch and cheering for her is easy! Beautiful person inside and out! Can’t wait for next season!

[@cleostjohn7680]

I'm so proud. I watched you grow being friends with my girls. Congrats

[@josephroman8568]

Congratulations Aliyah! You truly deserve it! Keep being the incredible baller and incredibly kind and humble person you are!

[@prettyugly]

congrats Aliyah. Gamecock and Liberty fan, but because of Aliyah, i watched more Fever games than Liberty games this season. MVP and leagues best player by year 3 at the most.

[@banbanchicken2808]

And this 2024 I think fever will be #1 pick again and Caitlin Clark will be in the draft

[@jamesbrannon7813]

Alyia Boston is a great WNBA basketball player. I'm so proud of her.

[@allisonbennett5602]

That’s my girl!!!!, she is the G.O.A.T of basketball,she has grown big time since she came from college, I love my former Gamecock ladies, Go gamecocks/Fever

[@jassthequeen3569]

She deserves it! Congratulations ❤💪🏾ROTY

[@Charnelle3]

AB the future MVP!

[@jabberjustice_]

WELL DESERVED! CONGRATULATIONS, ALIYAH!!!!!

[@oscarhamtig9785]

GO BOSTON

[@paulkeller6075]

One of the greatest 4 5's ever is about to play with one of the greatest guards! Both of them are 2 of the most competitive athletes I've ever seen and they're on the same team. Kinda freaks me out!

[@helenoftroy1227]

Love Aliyah Boston! So proud of her. She’s the truth! I’m so glad she went to the W. She couldn’t play to her full potential in college. She was too big, too strong, and too good. Teams and refs treated her like they used to do Shaq (hack-a-shaq) back in the day. I remember Coach Staley saying in an interview that it was time for AB to go to the W. She risked getting hurt if she stayed in college another year. In the W, she’s allowed to post up and go to work. Plus, she’s a genuinely good person. Love that about her.

I love Boston, but we need this Boston

[@carlfredb]

As a UConn fan, I wanted to not like her...but she is just so damn good and seems so damn nice!

[@shawnkemp7781]

They got the AD-DeMarcus Cousins combo in the paint 💪🏾

[@ranhill62]

Potentially, our first superstar since Tameka Catchings. If the fever want to fill the seats, they need to try to get Skylar Diggins Smith on the roster. Boston and SDS, thoughts?

[@gummybeer119]

Pray for that #1 pick again instead. Caitlin Clarke will also put more butts in those seats, and that inside out game...whew. 😅

[@SamanthaHoglecddhfy]

go girl 😊

[@jacobnyhart6862]

Se is going to be a good mentor to Caitlin Clark -- yes, the CC show will probably be a distraction early, but if CC leans on Boston in and out of the post -- then she will set herself up for a repeat on the Fever's Rookie of the Year claim. CC has never really had such a dominant teammate in that slot and both of their games will function in such complimentary manner - both with great success.

[@bartell20j]

Oh the Fever is about to cook!

[@ranhill62]

Boston is not only a big, but she plays big. She uses her size to muscle people out of the way to get her shot.

[@JasonRyanWhitecap-sj9yv]

There is going to be an Indiana Fever outbreak this year across North America.

[@Woelch]

What happened to her? She's not as dominant now. Heavier and slower and poor shooting

[@Dntturnround]

Yeah this ain’t same Boston

[@Magnus055]

Time for a trade, she doesn't fit the fast pace of the new fever. 😢

[@StanleyGARZHIANO]

IF YOU ARE READING THIS IN 2030 OR 2040 I WAS ALIVE WHEN THIS WOMAN PLAYED IN THE WNBA SHE SUCKED NON BIAS I HAVE NO DOG IN THE FIGHT BUT THIS LADY WAS TERRIBLE AT BASKETBALL IM SURE THIS ISNT A LEAGUE ANYMORE IN 2030/40
