Caitlin Clark, Kelsey Mitchell, Aliyah Boston postgame media after 88-81 Fever win over Mystics 

I saw a singer Tyla in an interview not answer a question and her PR team jumped in. She received a lot of backlash. Just observing differences in the way celebrities are treated.

this is the moment that made me LOVE AB. she is an incredible athlete and an incredible, charismatic leader for the Fever!

@@geronimopratt7976 What do you mean? They both are celebrities! Boston has come to realize what I hope all CC's teammates will: if they set a " solid" s green for her, and roll TO the basket, she will hit them with a pass.

Right! Aliyah stopping Caitlin in owning the TO as her fault and telling her to continue handing those passes. If she gets it great if not then they just have to move on. It shows that they are progressing as a team. So people should stop the narratives and let them play their style of basketball. These 3 will be dangerous once they finesse everything.

They seemed better prepared.

*Aliyah

I hope they do college hoops commentary together!!!

Yes they are. Both Clark and Boston are very well spoken in pressers. They both played 4 years for top rated college teams. And those colkege coaches taught them well

As for the sky. Im just gonna say it like it is. Coach Spoon often has to jump into presser cause players are not well spoken or classy

Deflecting praise is common across the Midwest. I think it comes from the Farmers. They can’t get too high or too low from yr to yr

That is called “Iowa nice”

She builds her teammates up aswell.

@@ctrichell she’s trying. Great competitors don’t always rub shoulders well with everyone

@@teddiescfielder8994 Trying? The first thing she did in any interview was give credit to the group.

Caitlin makes some questionable passes but they lead to so many easy buckets how can you complain?

​@garybankston9319 The people who seem to ONLY like angel and not the entire league as a whole only focus on turnovers! Just as you said, tho... the woman makes some crazy plays, plus, there's no awards for turnovers. It only affects you when it comes to the H.O.F. and you're up against someone else in your position!

She perked right up and went into attack mode. She’s wonderful.

The sign of a team coming together. Not saying the great, but nevertheless on the way up😊

I got the impression that Aliyah was trying be an example to train Caitlin to stick up for her team mates more and to cheerlead for them. The same was true when Aliyah corrected Caitlin on the "doing a little better" comment that Clark made earlier regarding the work that the bigs were doing on the inside. It goes along with Kelsey shaking her head and laughing at the last press conference when Caitlin answered the question about great matchups in basketball. I'm sure that Kelsey and Aliyah, who also smiled, were thinking something on the lines of "if new fans had been watching this league earlier, they would know that there are ton of great match-ups that have always been there. They just want their props. Caitlin obviously is just answering the questions, trying to keep low key, but it does seem like it would go a long way to give her team mates more obvious credit than "they are doing a little better". This is not a hit on CC. Instead, as a newbie who came into this league this year supporting CC, I've quickly developed great respect for Boston and Mitchell and others based on their press interviews and by becoming educated on their career performance. Much of this will work out on it's own with time, at least if they continue to win some games but it seems pretty obvious that they aren't there quite yet. They are still correcting themselves and walking on eggshells to offer minor apologies to one another for possibly stepping on toes. Like Caitlin mentioned in this press briefing , this is also a learning experience for life itself. Who knows, the WNBA may even be the unlikely catalyst to bring the entire country back together. But let's take one game at a time....

That’s awesome for a guard as she passes a lot of her points away to others. Great team efforts now.

Agree congrats AB!!

100% AB rocked ! So much talent she brings to the Fever

Yeah that was stunning to hear! That comes from the commissioner at the top!!! AB stunned the league once again!!! She is BACK!

I said it before because I heard it from commentators. The team didn't have not one practice in like the first 9 games!

Once AB and CC get the pick and roll going the Fever will have a dominating offense

It was absolutely nonsense, they had 11 games in 19 days. They played 4 more games than other teams in 25 days. Like cc said they never had time to practice ​@@C_71

Omg same! I got a bit emotional! I feel so bad for Caitlin with all the negativity she’s had to deal with and moments like that must really mean a lot to her

Aaliyah had her back!! I loved it! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️

Yes I got emotional too seeing the love and support there! It’s a real tight team! None of the bullcrap people were saying. They just needed to practice together and learn some strategy for peoples strengths! In HS I recall each year we starters played way better with each other as each year passed as we knew everyone’s moves and strengths and skills were much improved! Thats a process! Takes time to click! We had a ball hog star dreamer too we had to deal with. That’s why we never won a title! Only a well sharing 100% supporting passing team can win a title! It’s always best connected team that wins championships In every team sport!

Yes, we just needed to get to know the other players too. Impressive past 4 games

​@@cynthiawhite3945 Ms. Katie Lou Who, Grace Berger, Lexi Hull, and I wish Celeste would get playing time.

💯

She's amazing. AB is a star on and off the court. These 3 are good people.

Aliyah has always been a star and I'm happy she is getting her flowers!⭐️

For sure! Mitchell might have to learn to love fans as she sure is getting noticed!

Feels like they are earning each other’s trust

The beautiful smiles and joy in Mitchell when she scores a big basket is amazing! 🤩 I am so happy for her! She is an example of happy 😃 soul!!! Stunning contributor in the team!

Yeah, but she hogs the ball. She refused twice to pasS CC the ball when she was clearly asking for it.

Wheeler and Mitchell had key baskets in the fourth quarter.

Best game for wheeler this year

It took a while for Stewart to get good in WNBA! I watched her from start! Tourasi was better coming in! Same with Catchings! I still see Tourasi and Stewart at top 4! Stunning skill beyond any others. Aja Wilson too as a biggie who can do every position well! Nobody else can do that like her!

Bs

With her marketing background she got game and it shows during press conference, definitely an asset to any team she players for

Hopefully, the other gals can take lesson from her or even ask her about speaking so clearly and articulate their words. It’s a learned aspect of speaking in public.

She shall respect her teammates.

Lmao 😂😂😂 I've never seen someone so desperate for attention that they have to make up stats to make her feel better about herself.

@@michaelkees7303 Rookie Of The Year ****** CAITLIN CLARK *******

@tigerslear any accolades she gets where she doesn't actually work for them, I'm not surprised. But a championship title you actually have to work for. I would be very surprised. They vote for Rookie of the year. You actually have to earn a ring.

⁠@@michaelkees7303”doesn’t actually work for them” are you serious? You’re acting like she’s averaging 5 points or something, she’s actually putting in the work and performing lmao, you actually have to perform well to get the rookie of the year and also she will be an all star this year too. You have to perform well for others to see.

@@jasonhuynh8561 you don't work for either of those. Not all star or rookie of the year. People vote for that. It's a popularity contest. This girl hasn't beaten a single one of the best players in the league.

You notice Boston sprinting back to get in position now!!! Effort is amazing that even those little things are noticed!

They are at their best when CC is pushing it

She really does, very well spoken.

She's super smart.

She just being attentive....Boston has ALWAYS been very good with the media...that's why they had her interview players draft night

All the time ! They ruin the experience.

Facts. I hadn’t really heard her before at a presser. She’s really impressive.

Which CC does as well, turns it over or throws up bad shots!

@@lilkim1493 AWWWW! Not as bad, CLOWN!

They beat the worst team in the league

@@lacjoe123 they won 3 games in a row and playing their best basketball. If you don’t like it find something else to watch.

Mitchell's speed, ball handling and shot-making is fun to watch. I have noticed her tendency, though, to have tunnel vision when driving in the paint and force and miss shots instead of passing to an open player.
