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.

Congratulations Aliyah!! May GOD continue to Bless and Keep You!

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.

[@dericknelson4315]

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]

[@markjohnson-sl9qf]

CC is the best.

GO BOSTON

[@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

[@banbanchicken2808]

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

[@joyrichardson9794]

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!

[@jassthequeen3569]

She deserves it! Congratulations ❤💪🏾ROTY

[@jabberjustice_]

WELL DESERVED! CONGRATULATIONS, ALIYAH!!!!!

[@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.

[@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!

[@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. 😅

[@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 💪🏾

[@SamanthaHoglecddhfy]

go girl 😊

[@bartell20j]

Oh the Fever is about to cook!

[@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.

[@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

[@Magnus055]

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