- This Is Why Aliyah Boston WILL BE A WNBA LEGEND
In the Indiana Fever’s last game before the WNBA All-Star break, Aliyah Boston recorded her career high, tallying 28 points on 11-14 shooting. Aliyah Boston has been spectacular so far this season, and she’s now finally getting the recognition she deserves. While playing with Caitlin Clark, Aliyah Boston has the opportunity to be one of the GREATEST WNBA players EVER. How can she do it? In this video, I tell you how.
#aliyahboston #caitlinclark #wnba #indianafever
Aliyah is smart enough to realize that Caitlin feels good about herself when she helps Aliyah do well. Caitlin genuinely wants to help her teammates as she helps herself.
exactly. big sister on the job!
Cc also need to take her shots. Become that all around player. Soon she will have a floater, get her 3 back. CC is already the best passer in the WNBA and working good in the paint. It should all come together by next year CC makes everyone better because she truly wants her teammates to be the best they can be
@@lindysmallwood2039 Yes, she does. It's a tough balance for a pass first pure pg, especially when they're defended the way Caitlin is defended...but I'm sure she's working on that balance. Pass first pgs with more experience struggle with achieving that balance, so it will take Caitlin some time.
Carter, I love that you're "no drama." Go over highlights of the Fever thus far this season and show the growth of Caitlin...show the growth of the Aliyah/Caitlin combo...show the growth of Kelsey Mitchell, show the growth of Lexi Hull in the game as opposed to earlier in the season when she was largely benched. Take us from the dismal first 5 games through the "learning moments" of the middle games to the dominance of the later games. I would LOVE this. Do an entire video for EACH. A master class. THERE'S NO BETTER TH-camR FOR THIS THAN YOU. Take us to class!!
really! just go right ahead and replace ESPN. they're incompetent. do it!
Thank you for giving Aliyah her 🌹 on a side note you can even see the physical changes in her body from last season
True. She has worked hard over the course of this season alone on her endurance.
It’s paying off.
Clark to Boston = Stockton to Malone 🙌🏾
Only better!
Thank you so much for this video. I wish more people saw how effective Boston is, especially when working with Caitlin. It was not like that at the start of the season and it’s great to see them improving over their first run of games.
Also something about AB’s smile just makes me happy. She’s a breath of fresh air compared to so many other good players in the league. And what a great example to young girls watching.
Everyone was out of sorts in the beginning. It was like that show, Love at First Sight. Okay you’re married, now go figure it out. No courtship, no practicing. Then that schedule from hell. Whoever put that one together, needs to be on Santa’s naughty list.
I really hope all the corporations like Nike, Wilson etc, take notice, because Aliyah is so marketable and she also deserves her retirement money.
AB & CC are so refreshing in how they are learning to enhance each other’s game. I live in Hawkeye country so got to witness CC’s years at Iowa in person. I also loved having AB analysis of college games on Peacock in the wnba off season. They both have incredible bball IQ!
love this post. you're right, AB's smile is a deadly weapon for the Fever, and you can see CC relax and reorganize whenever AB hits her with it in the post-game pressers.
and people don't realize how important it is, to have a teammate who understands what you're doing. we talk about "chemistry," but we don't actually know what it involves, so we don't see it developing until it shows up in the W/L. but AB + CC is chemistry in action. show us more, so we can appreciate it!
Don't forget Aliyah was a BEAST in college with the South Carolina GameCocks and Dawn Staley. #1 pick for a reason
ooh, that would be an awesome video: what AB and CC were doing in college, and how that transitioned to playing for the Fever. ideally with some hope for the future.
Yes! Followed up by ROTY for a reason.
Aliyah is running the floor, making her lay-ups, capitalizing on those dimes from Caitlin. If there was a "most improved" accolade, AB would be right up there to win it. 2nd half of the season is gonna be awesome to watch! Yes, I'm excited too!!!
She has great touch with the rim. Touch. The ball lands soft. She is smart and articulate.
Yes and she makes the game look so easy. Very fun to watch. ✔️👍
Absolutely! She's also funny and has a huge heart for giving back to help others.
I agree wholeheartedly, CC and Aliya are both going to benefit from each other. They seem to really like each other too, that makes a big difference. Aliyah had me when I heard her say she listens to gospel music before games, her heart and soul are in the right place.🙂
My brother said Caitlin Clark must be nervous playing with such huge audiences. Of the WNBA the only 2 players I know who have played for an audience of 50,000+ are Kate Martin and Caitlin Clark.
Yeah. She’s been used to it last few years
CC and Aliyah bring out the best in each other. Aliyah cleaned up missed shots in Texas. She's a rock and fun to watch their chemistry. Aliyah never ceases to surprise me.
Texas?
@@TemT8 July 17th College Park Center in Arlington, TX against Dallas Wings. I think Carter has a video on that game too. Enjoy!
@@JuneHolloway23Boston is a champion. I love the duo of Boston and Clark.
@@nancy9891 Agree, Nancy! Boston shows up to get the job done. AB7 CC22
@@nancy9891 So is Caitlin, she has 3 Gold Medals for Team USA FIBA World Cups. AB was her teammate on the 2021 U19 World Cup and they both won Gold together. Those 2 are a great duo both on and off the court! And they're both great people on the inside too!!!
Great analysis as always, Carter! I agree Boston and Clark are so much fun to watch. Aliyah just had her career high game this last game along with Caitlin’s record breaking assist record in that game. They are elevating each other exponentially already and they’re just getting started!
Let's see if working with Cheryl Miller at the All Stars camp, running her drills, helps their games.
and gives coach Sides a clue. we can hope.
Love giving AB her 🌺 I would love some W All star video content!
Fever has a strong team, and other teams are starting to take notice. If they capitalize on the offence, they can go all the way. Looking good, Fever. Show them what you're made of, and how you roll, Fever show them!!!!
It’s kind of like Iowa. You know the offense is there, but you have to nail your defense!
Aliyah isn’t popular because of cc only. She got more exposure because of cc, but she won us over because she is so likable and has great skill 👍
that's what I love about the two of them: it's not a one-up, one-down relationship. they build off each other. CC needs someone to use what she's offering, or she's going to burn out. and AB could end up shuffled to the back, if she doesn't have someone like CC to invite her to step forward.
what a great coach would do for both of them. well I guess they'll just have to do it for each other. win/win!
@@outsidethegarden well said! I hope they stay together as a duo for a long time
@@mag07226 Same thing with Mitchell. She getting her own well deserved shine.
I noticed her because of CC and I’m a huge fan now. I want those 2 together for years like the NBA used to do
Nice video, as usual. One thing you might have also mentioned is that what made AB so strong in college and a reason why she was drafted #1 overall is that she has excellent low post footwork, positioning, body control and ability to get high percentage shots under the basket. In fact, these being so strong, in college and even last season most of her game and the offense she was in were focused on getting the ball to her in the low post and then asking her to work 1 on 1 sometimes 1 on 2 or 3 and try to score or else kick out to a teammate made open by AB's own gravity. Thus, she wasn't used to or expecting a fast, running, transition-oriented offense which is one reason she wasn't in shape for it at the beginning of the season, nor did she have much experience playing the roles she's usually playing now, like pick and roll, at the 3point line, at the top of the key, only much more rarely in her familiar area from all those prior years of the bottom of the key. It might be interesting to make a follow up video of AB then and now, first showing how her slow, low-post college offense worked, and the pro offense she was in last season which wasn't all that different, which can emphasize all the things she's added to her game this season in order to work with CC better. All the things you mentioned are indeed important but the basketball things you mentioned like her learning how to be in the right positions in the pick and roll, having a scary good 3point shot for a big, having a scary good outside set shot, and ability to dribble effectively when needed, are compounded by the fact that she still has her greatest strength in her low post repertoire. Opponents know they cannot allow her to get under the basket because she's so effective there, and yet now she's adding so much game beyond the low post opponents also don't want to leave her wide open. Right now defenses are not willing to let CC be uncovered ever if they can help it, so are therefore willing to let AB be uncovered in some locations, but as AB gets better in those beyond the low post areas, eventually defenses may decide they also don't want to allow AB to ever be open either, and then it starts to be really hard to cover the other Fever players if they're, say, willing to double both CC and AB at the same time. To your basic point, if CC hadn't come to the Fever, AB would probably still be in her old, slow low-post oriented offense, and in that role she was probably going to always be one of the better centers in the league but there were also elite players who could stop her inside game and so she was never going to be in one of the all-time great conversations. However, because of CC, AB has been challenged to add so much to her game that she now is becoming far more than just a really excellent low post scorer. So if she does face an elite inside defender AB is now going to have other ways to score and be a threat offensively. She's also in better shape because she has to be to stay up with that uptempo offense and that shows on the field, in her play. This also means she's becoming the type of player that indeed could be an all-time great.
Regarding other video ideas, one idea is a series of videos that break down each player on the Fever (except CC and AB since you've already done those) and for each player show both that player's biggest strength(s) and weakness(es). Maybe also how those strength(s)/weakness(es) have helped the Fever win some games, but also lose some games. Like off the top of my head KM s: scoring & athleticism/ w: defense, NS s: relatively athletic for a big/ w: defense, LH s: defense & athleticism/ w: offensive skills, etc. Also would be nice to do some then & now videos on specific areas where the Fever as a team have improved in specific areas of their game since the beginning of the season. Like then & now how the Fever have improved the pick & roll, then & now how the Fever have improved defensive shifts, etc. and maybe assign grades for both like was a 3 out of 10 now is maybe a 7 out of 10.
This is right. She’s developing into a MVP Caliber player in her own right. I think Boston knows that this team will rise or fall by her and CC playing off one another. What the Fever needs now is a 3 that gives them 3s and D and can run the floor with them too.
I’m waiting for Temi to get healthy. She was starting to run that floor so well before she got hurt. I feel if she’s back at 💯 then this team will have a good run
AB has tremendous natural ability: size, strength, quickness, great shooting, great court awareness, and is tremendously smart. Plus she has the advantage of having spent college under one of the greatest coaches in the NCAA, especially in coaching big women. A'ja Wilson, Boston, and Kamilla Cardoso all played under Dawn Staley. A big from SC is money in the bank, just like a player from Stanford is going to be a good defender. A'ja is clearly the best in the WNBA right now. Boston is a couple years away from being on the same level as Wilson. Cardoso needs more time in the oven, since she spent less time at SC, has a background of less high competition ball before college, and was in Boston's shadow at college until this last year, but she will come along.
In addition to her great scoring, AB is a very well-rounded player. She is an excellent defender -- won a couple defender of the years in college. She is a super rebounder at both ends. She blocks shots. She steals. She gets assists. She is (here comes heresy) a more complete player at the moment than Clark.
I think that part of her flatness in the early games was probably from reporting a bit out of shape, but I think a lot of it was AB learning about CC and CC learning about AB. Most of you probably don't remember having Magic's passes bounce off his teammates' heads, but it takes a while to adjust for both an ace passer and for her receivers. Now that AB and CC know each other they have both adjusted, including AB running up court to match CC's geared up pace.
Sometimes I wonder what would have happened if CC had had a coach like Staley or Auriemma to force her to work on defense and other weaknesses in her game, instead of encouraging a fireworks show with 45% usage. She would probably not be as famous because it would have been less Caitlin and the seven dwarfs and more team, but my feeling is that CC cares about winning and about playing to get wins more than she does about big stats, as her reaction to her error at the end of the Wings game shows, despite her having had a world-shattering game otherwise. But the big downside to that would be that the huge financial windfall that CC is to the WNBA might never have happened without the all Caitlin all the time game plan at Iowa.
CC (and AB) now have almost four weeks to work on their games. I expect to see improvement because I think the motivation and the work ethic are there. They are already 75% better than in May. I look for another 50% improvement before Labor Day.
"liked" this in spite of your heresy. (blasphemer! repent!)
I really feel like even my fellow CC fanatics don't give her credit. but you at least tried to. she's SO not padding her stats (how do you pad assists??), and she's SO not "just a 3-point shooter": she wants to build her team.
I don't think you give her enough credit, for what she did at Iowa or what she's doing now. I can see why someone would talk about "the seven dwarves" -- she's not that well-rounded, she's an offensive player. but she never treated her teammates at Iowa as minor or secondary: she supported them and celebrated them, the same way she does her Fever teammates.
yes, the Fever frankly suck at defense (yes including CC herself), except for Lexi Hull. (and Celeste Taylor -- WTF?) but CC is building the team: that's her priority. starting with AB, because she and AB already had a good fit with each other -- from competing in college. think about that.
and in the end, hopefully CC will get Christie Sides on the program too. SOMEbody needs to.
maybe I'm just fan-girling, or making this up. but I see CC playing MVP, always. not about the stats, or anyone even noticing: just, turning a mediocre team into a winning team, and helping her teammates play their best. what she's good at, and what the team and the league needs.
and eventually even converting you heathen heretics to the Church of CC! (j/k)
I'll watch everything you do. Your knowledge and tone are amazing. I never feel like I have been clickbaited or that you are haranguing us. Keep it up, any topic.
thanks for your great commentary on WNBA basket ball.
I am a 80 year old cajun who started watching ladies play basket ball when Louisiana (LSU) won the National championship, thinking this would be a good fill in between football seasons. That quickly turned into an intense interest in the Iowa Hawkeye teams and Caitlin Clark.
My problem is that I know almost nothing about basket ball. Am beginning to figure out what a pick and roll is and have trouble with what the rules are. So in response to your question about what to talk about - some brief tutorials thrown in with your conversations would be nice - like what are the player position numbers - I think one is the “Point guard”, five is the “Big in the center” and other basic facts and rules for us ignorant folks out here
Many thanks for the offer an for any thing you may share on this subject. Looking forward to the rest of the season and also to your conversations.
Oz
love this. there are a LOT of us ignant fools out here, googling "pick and roll" (what is that, a deli order?) and "point guard" (wait, isn't she SUPPOSED to have the ball? what am I missing here?)
your posts are SO useful. and feel free to not have to answer every clueless question some newbie CC fan has, just tell us "google 'zone defense'."
I honestly feel like Katelyn Clark is carrying her entire teams fame but I love how Katelyn praised not just Aliyah Boston but her whole team
Caitlin…
💀sorry I googled the spelling and that's what came up
@@robbytrysits Caitlin Clark but i know who you are talking about anyways
That's why I'll type CC b/c it's faster and easier for me. I have dyslexia and some peeps get touchy. 😂
Subbed. You play beautifully, Robby.
@@robbytrys google is useless. try wikipedia.
You have a great analysis. I'd prefer no drama. I really enjoy these specific player breakdowns so would like to see more paired covered. As a new watcher, it would be helpful to know more players and more of their specific strengths or weaknesses.
If she stays with Caitlin Clark she will be a W(WE)NBA legend! Right now the Fever have 2 nice pieces in Clark and Boston. They need that third person so the can be a Big Three.
Aliyah has bought into the Caitlin Clark effect and will totally benefit from that.
To be honest, I hadn’t heard the name Aliyah Boston before I started watching the Fever because of Caitlin Clark. At the beginning, I wondered what was wrong with her because she wasn’t playing well. I knew she was the rookie of the year last year, so I knew something must have been off. She was out of shape and slow. WAS. That is old news though. I liked her attitude from the beginning. She seems like a good person. Now she is also back to being a solid player. I like that she takes an occasional 3 pt shot. If she stays in shape, and even gets in better shape, the Clark-Boston duo will be unstoppable. I love watching the two of them play together.
My same sentiments 💯
also -- this isn't basketball, so sue me -- she's such a love in the post-game pressers. stepping in whenever CC starts getting down on herself -- just what CC needs. and then they laugh, and it's just the best.
You have the best analysis of the games better than anyone else on the internet. I hope you're coaching or at least working with a team
and not just us internet newbies. who never even PRACTICE.
You are absolutely on point with this video. AB is an amazing player and person. She and CC will make up the greatest duo in the history of The W if they stick together.
Thing is, I see you have a new video and I just know it's going to be good. Very nice!
always!
Awesome analysis as always! I have loved AB's as well and couldn't agree with you more. Would definitely like to hear your analysis and breakdown of the all stars game, coaches cheryl vs cheryl, the indiana fever and coach sides.
She is soooo good and with Caitlin they are a real FORCE.
AB has done a great job of adjusting to the faster paced game and her shooting is vastly improved since the first few games. Great job of illustrating what she brings to the game.
At some point, you should do some videos on the new class of players hitting the WNBA next year. Towards the end of the season, we should have a good idea of what teams they're going to, so you can form an opinion on how particular players may impact their new team.
I think Caitlin said her and AB are going to practice together during the break, so they might come back with a joined braincell. also please no WNBA drama, theres so much click-bait and bullshit out there we're good on that
I agree. Your pieces are dense with analysis and documented with hard evidence.
I rely on you for solid stuff not blaming and finger-pointing.
You don't stir the pot. You bring the steaks.
I don't disagree -- but personally, I'd love a "setting the record straight" video every now and then. "so people are saying that CC isn't building the WNBA, by skipping the three-point shootout. here's the attendance records (video of highlights of away games) and standing ovations, here's the triple-double (video) and assist records broken (video), and people who dissed her (Reeve) and then changed their minds (Reeve). and now a bunch of videos of CC just being amazing, with my analyses."
that would be such a gas to watch. plus the comments would be hilarious, with the CC haters out in force.
@@outsidethegarden yeah- cleaning up the noise would be a benefit. Hopeful it is rarely needed.
@@outsidethegarden you just like drama. dont let the social media brain rot win
You're so good at breakdown! A video on Nalyssa smith or Kelsey would be interesting to see their dynamic on the team.
I got you! A video about Nalyssa will be out today!
With all the hoopla on CC here on the audio video tube I was getting many viewpoints which to be honest was overwhelming and fixating. After watching your analysis on CC I wanted to get a perspective on the WBNA so I joined the viewership and watched my first three games yesterday. I was impressed. The three games were the first pre season game loss to the wings, their last loss with Dallas and the victory in Minnesota. I look forward to gaining more experience to know all the technical nuances and history of the WBNA as it never was my sport even though up in this part of North America is possibly where the game was invented if I am to believe what was aired on the Canadian broadcast channel I viewed so many many years ago.
Boston sees CC as the gravy train for the ball. CC is always looking for her and she doesn't want CC getting tentative to take chances with passes because it's getting her more action.
Boston deserves ALL the accolades she is receiving. Why do people take cheap shots - pun - at AB ? If you can’t understand that CC & AB are in sync more than any other two in the W.
@@jacquescousteau217 It wasn't a slam. lol
I didn’t think much of Aliyah in the beginning but it didn’t take me long to realize the number one pic from last year was out of shape….. now that she has her legs under her she just plays better and better each game… being on the same page with CC these two will go down in history together as two of the biggest stars ever….
Cc made me love Boston❤❤❤ She is a superstar too!
I am happy you mentioned coach stiles. In their last game I thought it was a couple of players that came up short with their performances that would have made the difference from a loss. The size that was added to the team will help with experience gained. The Dallas team played well as did Minnesota in their loss.
In press conferences they are having so much fun with each other, AB + CC. I think these ladies will want to stay together as they like how the other plays.
You continue to do a tremendous job, Carter and I'm here for it! I absolutely love AB's game too.
Boston is literally schooling the best centers in the league with her footwork
ABCC are good friends. Real friend. AB is going to learn more dribbling and 3 point shoots from CC. CC is going to continue to go to the gym with AB and get stronger. ABCC championship dynasty
I saw an interview AB did of Caitlin a year ago if not longer, AB has loved Caitlin since they played together on team USA and she showed it, and she's the first that was super exited to be playing with Caitlin since she knows they capable as a team will be among the greatest ever... But they need a Coach that sees that too, that Coach them better not trying to stuff them into a shoebox..
Loving your content. I am not a fan of the drama and clickbait. There are only two channels covering the WNBA that are drama free that’s you and Quita Loves Sports. Recommendations: enjoy and cover basketball in the Olympics, men and women in 5x5 and 3x3. That’s plenty! I think coverage of 3X3 might be super interesting. Explaining how it’s a different dynamic and requires different schemes would be so cool.
thanks for the recommend -- just subscribed.
This exciting dynamic young duo will lead the team to many championships in the future.
Carter, you are funny, your analysis is on point. Thanks for focusing on Aliyah!
Love your brilliant commentary as always!!
6:16 - AB runs the floor and is set to get the rebound/put back if need be. Personally AB brings a winning personality to the game. She is eloquent, smart, and doesn't hesitate to pump up her team mates good points. And that is a quality that will be with her long after her balling days are over.
Re topics: CC seeming shooting slump. I keep telling myself that everybody has a slump now and then. I believe it is a temporary situation because her college stats say so. But it sure gives the CC haters ammunition to bad mouth her.
Thanks, AB is awesome, I like how she finds an opening & I can't figure out how she got there. 😅 And that 3 she hit the other day was 🔥.
I like Smith A LOT too. I hooped in high school but have learned so much from you. Your analysis of BB are great.
Can’t wait to hear your take on the coaching of the Great Cheryl Miller!! Man she knows how to hype up her girls!
already looks good. can't really be much worse ,now can it?
I love AB! Thanks for this commentary.
Hey man I dig your commentary. CC and AB are so fun to watch
I think the Olympics would be fun to watch your coverage with your breakdowns. Thanks, Carter!
CC is more about winning than setting records. She talks about crying when she loses when she was young. I think she knows that records comes and goes and she can set them if she really wants it. The win is more important to CC than anything in a game. That’s one of the reasons why she has visions on her games and plays.
Amen. Go Aliyah Boston
Aliyah Boston is phenomenal and she seems like a sweet person too. Question about Caitlin though-- while her desire to help her teammates is admirable, do you think that she needs to shoot more? People are wowed when Caitlin shoots.
I can't wait to see your coverage of the WNBA/TUSA. I would also like to more about the coach of the WNBA team. Thanks for another good video. Wouldn't mind a more in-depth look at the point where the Fever went from losing to winning as a team.
That was such a great break down.
Great job, Carter! I love your videos! During the All Star break, I’d still like to see your analysis of why the Fever lost their big lead to Phoenix as well as the Olympics. Thanks!!
Smart people do what is in their own best interests. Aliyah is one of those. Playing with Caitlin has helped her tremendously and she has more than risen to the occasion.
disagree, in major way: smart people do what's in their own best interests, AND in the interests of the people around them. since then those people will realize that helping that person will help them too.
which seems to be your point. and CC's and AB's.
When Aliyah gets in shape enough to play 35 minutes with Caitlin, she will be deadly!!❤
personally, I'd like it if the coach didn't expect anyone to play 35 minutes. and tried to build a bench that could step in and do the job. but that would require the coach to have the faintest clue what "the job" is. hint: not just dribbling.
at LEAST two videos on the All-Star/US game, please!
I loved you pointing out what was apparently good coaching by Christie Sides. give that girl a little credit! helps me keep my cynicism in check.
also, you're talking about what AB and CC could do -- but those two nearly won the Fever/Wings game by themselves. I know nobody pays attention to what happens if your team doesn't win, but seriously, how did they DO that? 2 against 5, man. almost no backup!
and when I watch AB and CC, I keep thinking of Hannah Stuelke at Iowa. if you're going to be there for CC, you have to be thinking on your feet, and expecting her passes to be two steps ahead of you. love to see that up close and slo-mo.
I especially liked your example of AB running with CC, even though CC went ahead and made the layup. I assume this kind of playing gives CC more options: even if she doesn't take those options, it makes her game more fluid and gives the defenders too much to think about. so more exploration of that kind of teamwork would be lovely to see, with your analysis.
also other Fever players who are stepping up and making it happen. KM seems to be much more willing to give CC the ball, and then be ready to get it back.
and just so you don't get typecast as a CC channel, who else is doing something innovative in the W? I'm clueless, so I can't suggest anything (Paige Bueckers in college play, obviously) -- but I'd love to start learning about other players (and coaches!) to get excited about.
finally I loved the gameplay video where you slowed it down: watching what they were doing in slo-mo made it much more real to me. thank you!
(p.s. props for not saying "good things happen." though once or twice wouldn't be a problem. seeing that you've substituted "now check out this next play." but props for not saying that every single time. dude, your excitement is contagious -- you really don't need to get us amped up, we're with you!)
After AB gets the block she runs the floor with CC and then pumps her fists in excitement after CC makes the lay up. Love that....
I'd like a breakdown of Fever defense vs. the best wnba defenses. where they need to improve. also, how do you think Paul Westhead's system or a some variation of it would work for cc and fever.
Carter, I like how you avoid any sensationalism and click bait and instead do very nice informative basketball analysis. Keep up the good work!👍
Aliyah has a great smile and sense of humor that make her so likable.
Boston reminds me of a female Willis Reed. Best WNBA analysis on TH-cam. Keep going young man.
Facts. She's a great player.
Another Great video!! You are doing excellent work!
Cover the Olympics for sure !! Enjoying your Fever breakdowns
Great video. Boston is such a smart and awesome player. ✔️
Aliyah Boston ROCKS & is AWESOME!! ❤️🙏‼️🇺🇸
The Fever are fortunate to have a duo of hard working, well spoken, likeable young women (they both are only 22) who are also natural born leaders, but are also willing to make sacrifices to make others better. If you're new to the sport of basketball you don't know how much of a rarity that is.
Some vids for the future couod be the collage careers of some of the Fever players. I know AB had a great showing in my home state of South Carolina playing for the Gamecocks.
Trade deadline is August 20th. A team could offer Indiana a high draft pick plus players for CC. There is an anonymous GM who said, I would trade my entire team for CC. CC was also the choice of GM's to start start a new franchise with. Appears Lin Dunn voted for Boston. Boston got one vote. Half the GM's picked CC at 50%. A'ja got 42% and Boston 8%, 1 vote. Big CC fan, I am good with a trade. If your GM and coach do not want you, then they should get the best trade possible.
Caitlin wants to live in Indiana.
I want to more about this. specifically, how did a coach and a GM get a #1 draft pick that they don't actually even want to work with her style? WTAF?
@@v2807
especially since her boyfriend is with the Pacers. but the Midwest isn't THAT big -- Indiana is bordered by Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, Kentucky (oh okay), close to Tennessee, Missouri, Wisconsin, Ontario...
Boston was already cooking before Clark showed up to the cookout brother. The game gets easier for her with Clark.
True last year. But at the beginning of this year, she wasn’t looking good. That’s what all the new eyes saw. And now we see her gelling with Caitlin…and it is a beautiful thing!
STRONGLY disagree. the game got a lot harder for her: she needed to hustle,, to be ready for CC's passes.
and she has, and now she and CC are a team. but was that "easier"? hell no. just, props to AB!
Such a good vid. Love Your stuff.
Boston best attribute is her 'soft hands'. She sucks those passes up like a vacuum cleaner! She never looks surprised at any pass incoming from CC.
nice point. she's always cool, always ready.
I see the vision of ABCsquared in the future! I love superhero origin stories, which is why I have enjoyed this season so much. We are seeing the beginnings of what could/will someday be known as the best combo of all time in WNBA. A possible interesting program might be showing how/why Caitlin's assists increased during the first half of the season. Another program could be about showing how/why Caitlin's turnovers have decreased. Of course, a lot of the improvement is because her teammates are doing better job catching the ball. But, show us what Caitlin is doing differently from early in the season to the mid-point. Congrats on breaking 6K subscribers in next few days!
If there is wNBA drama, definitely want your take even though that's not exactly what you do - but you can definitely do both
CC has made Boston a star. Be honest.
Fever will be a Dynasty if they can keep those two together with key support players.
and decent coaching. and a competent GM. and an owner who can see daylight.
You do a very good and accurate vlog
Thank you for giving AB her props. She’s long overdue.
goes with her role. CC gets the attention and gravity, but she can't do it without AB to finish. you see it in the post-game pressers: all eyes on CC, and then she gets all flustered and self-critical and AB is just like "we did good." big sister, for real.
@@outsidethegarden they’re getting better at sharing the flowers. I want to see more, like Carter bringing up other great players.
Then there’s all the ones who are making money just pushing ar and cc drama even if it isn’t there.
I dropped-in on the WNBA to study Caitlyn Clark, and I stayed to cherish Aliyah Boston.
You did a great job on AB. You could also do a segment on Kelsey Mitchell and several other players- what they’ve been doing since the beginning of the season and how they’ve been improving, and working with CC. you do an excellent job. I am a bit of a dingbat, but I have impressed people with something I saw on one of your programs. You said when ever Caitlin Clark gets into the Paint then good things start to happen. And now I say that a lot and people are impressed ❤. I do give you credit 😊
Although Aliyah Boston had played many games internationally with Caitlin Clark prior to the WNBA, Hannah Stuelke is the teammate which learned to play best with Caitlin. Caitlin and Hannah were able to run up the score on other teams. I pray Aliyah Boston will learn to play with Caitlin as well.
They crushed together at iowa. Stuelke coming out of college is going to be a top 2 pick. I would pick her over Paige easy. Paige will not have the longevity like stuelke Hannah was born to be force
Don't forget about Monika Sanono. She was amazing for 4 years with CC. And now plays in Europe. Their chemistry was amazing. But ya CC makes everyone better and love Stalky
Sorry 3 yeares not 4
@@davidclos6193 Clark/ Czinano were lethal, but Czinano was not mobile like Boston is. Actually, one of Czinano's mantras was "no dribble", and she rarely did, but she could post up and hold her own and she had great hands.
@roberthoneywell I agree was talking about the coment about Hannah being her best chemistry. I think and hope Caitlin and Boston get to that point. But yes next level.
Let's keep talking about how other players of the Fever team can develop their game to be more efficient when working with CSquared ...
Aliyah and Caitlin have been friends for years. They've played together in USA basketball before.
I love your fever analysis
Hi Carter, can you cover a preview of the Team USA vs WNBA Select 🎉
Love Aliyah
Aliyah is the person you want as a best friend to just hang out with.
AB is silky smooth ❤❤
Please discuss the places and positions each individual Indiana player should have been defending when playing the Sparks. You watch a lot of "tape", I'm sure you see where players are defensively out of position or are moved out of position by the opposition. I'm new to the game and I enjoy watching the games and your analysis of the game. Mahalo.
Topic idea... who would you like to see the Fever pick up to improve the team? Maybe a dream pick that could never really happen... but more important... a realistic pickup (trade, etc).
Yes, please cover both Olympic teams
I don't think any of this is Christie Sides coaching. I personally believe Clark has been running drills and practicing these plays with her teammates. Christie Sides wants the team to play slow, inbound the ball to the post and everyone beat the snot out each other.
joyful, strong, supportive, talented, hustler, smart
