18:46 Aliyah Boston - Zábava
Who knew I would watch a pre-season WNBA press conference.
Same 😂
LOL! Me too!
IKR😂
Same here
Right here with you, first time for everything 😂
Christie is very comfortable in front of the press. Also honest, not evasive. She knows how to build success. I think this team is going to have excellent chemistry.
Go Caitlin Clark!!! I am never going to stop being a fan of yours
Was she the coach with 13 wins last year?
@@anthonytaylor7928 Yup. In her first year, she improved the team from 5 wins to 13 wins. That's excellent in my book.
@@bobp5523 Also how fearless is it to take on a team that only had five wins?
As a new women's basketball fan - following Caitlin from Iowa - I needed this. I have been wanting good feedback about the Fever. I am now a new fan of the Fever, but also of Aliyah Boston. Smart lady. Looking forward to watching that Clark-Boston duo.
They've got a really special chemistry together. I saw them at Olive Garden in Castleton yesterday, they looked like two best buddies, they were both on their phones chewing bubblegum.
Great! I'm one of those new women's basketball fan. Go Fever!
@@rafaelmejia5988 Me too!! I've followed NCAA ball, but never WNBA, the games weren't televised in Iowa, but this year they say we are to see 36 out of 40 games, and my house will be watching, getting to know the rest of the team beyond Aliyah and Caitlin.
Fun Fact: CC, AB, and Celeste Taylor were all teammates on Team USA U19 squads. Queen Egbo also, but the Fever traded her. Apparently she wanted more playing time. But she wasn't going to get as much as she wanted anytime soon since Boston and Smith are our post players.
Clark and Boston are excellent with the press.
CC and AB both so good in interviews. Really helps the fans connect.
I noticed that, too, and I love it.
AB and CC are really good with interviews. I can't wait to see them in one together one day.

I knew CC would be great. I did not see how charming AB can be, and am very glad to see it.
@@ctafranceAlijah was extremely charming and beautifully well spoken this season doing analyst/commentator work during the college season. She was amazing! She's got mad skills on and off the court🥰😆
Indiana really got a shining star in Catlin. On and off the court...hard to believe she is only 22 yrs old and handles herself like she does. Absolutely incredible and refreshing
She's is still learning. The team will work with her.
Why wouldn't a 22 year old handle herself? She's a grown woman duh?
Definitely quite mature for 22 and handling the pressure
@kerry This is what we at Iowa have gotten to enjoy and soak in since 2021. The year before was the COVID year so that sucked. When commentators are stopping her for interviews or post game pressers, Caitlin has no fear of saying what she wants/needs to speak about. She will compliment her teammates and her coaches before she ever talks about herself. She will even throw something in about the team they're playing against. She isn't just basketball smart, she is brilliant, but she doesn't shy away from some good fun either. I hope Indiana is thrilled as much as we have been at Iowa. The Fever has a LOT of fans a few states away now!!!
@@survivrs the first game I ever watched her play in was the national championship game last year against LSU and before the ball was even tossed up I scanned the girls and I said "that's the X factor" right there. Boy was I on point! She just has IT! I've tuned in every game since and have thoroughly enjoyed watching her on and off the court. I totally see why people love her and...well some are extremely jealous of her but that comes with being great. Can't wait to watch this next chapter of her career and will continue to support and defend her. She is exactly what womens basketball needed!
Caitlin Clark is awesome !!!!
Coach needs to train them something different from last year.
A new awesome?🤔 We'll see Friday! Let's go girls, we're watching now!
Caitlin is on the perfect team!! For Her Life style!!!
Clark and boston are gonna tear this league up lol. I cant wait to see what clark can do with actual talent beside her
Plus her boyfriend, from Iowa, is with the Pacers organization.
Just signed up for WNBA League Pass. Hyped for the new season!
Hard work wins more games! Go fever!
Do you get to watch all the games on that? How much is it?
Damn it’s like that ??
@@madcow8114yes. It's $34.99 for the entire season.
@@madcow8114it’s 30 something dollars for the year. not bad, but i think most indiana fever games will be blacked out since they’re on broadcast networks. but i think you would be able to watch all the games afterward, just not live
Past teammates of Caitlin have said when you least expect the ball to be there it's there. Always be ready for the ball, she'll find you. I believe her greatest asset is getting her teammates involved.
@65 Yeah, if you don't catch it, you're going to have a Nike swoosh tattooed somewhere on your face because her passes are that accurate.
Go Caitlin Clark!!! I am never going to stop being a fan of yours
Christie is very comfortable in front of the press. Also honest, not evasive. She knows how to build success. I think this team is going to have excellent chemistry.
The Boston-Clark connection
FEVER!!!
The BC Express!
Love the coach and cc. Aliyah seems like a lovely person, love her personality.
Three of the best interviews I have ever seen!! Wonderful and smart ladies!! Love to see the humor too.
They've got a really special chemistry together. I saw them at Olive Garden in Castleton yesterday, they looked like two best buddies, they were both on their phones chewing bubblegum.
@@GregoryAlanBaileygamereviews SERIOUSLY???!!! THAT'S 6! Stop with the comment about chewing bubblegum and on their phones at Applebee's.
Got to say that I am very impressed with Aliyah's maturity and ability to articulate what is most important to the team. Can't wait to watch my FIRST regular season game.
What do u expect ? She's a grown female professional? Also don't u see her on the tv commentary??
@@anthonytaylor7928She comes across better than most 22 year old professional athletes.
@@bobp5523 EXACTLY!
Iowa and Clark fan here...Aliyah Boston is very impressive. No wonder she got some basketball announcing duties in the off season. After watching some highlights, good gracious this Clark to Boston thing is going to be fire!

As someone from Texas, I’m rooting for the Fever!!! Excited for this season!
SO EXCITED FOR THE TEAM TO START!!!
Does texas have a wellfare league team ? Few states have 1...😂
Same here. 😊 ♥️🏀♥️
@johntruxal432 I didn't know we had one. Apparently, it's the Dallas Wings.
@@magdalenarangel53 well texas is a big state with plenty of options for fun. I will watch some fever games. Nearly the entire league are just woke victimhood advocates. 27 years of never making a profit , begging nba for money and doing nothing but complaining about a 4 month job.
Coach is locked in! Like it.
Caitlin has breathed new life into her whole demeanor, she wasn't like this last year.
I have a strong feeling Indiana Fever will be in the playoff moving forward 💯
They've got a really special chemistry together. I saw them at Olive Garden in Castleton yesterday, they looked like two best buddies, they were both on their phones chewing bubblegum.
@@GregoryAlanBaileygamereviews How many times are you going to copy/paste that same damn line? That's the 3rd one already.
Can't believe I'm watching this, can't seem to stop ,Can't wait for the games.
Boston and Clark are extremely smart and ball hard so def goin be watching ❤

@@Tsax4x8 Eww!
@@Tsax4x8 Thank you for that!! Two days ago I counted 16 times in this entire thread where he copied that comment word for word.
Never watched WNBA but because of Caitlyn Clark, I’m watching this year, not just Indiana Fever but others that were drafted I want to watch.
I support you ladies. Great interview, Coloradan, now a Fever Fan ... grew up in Iowa Go Fever ❤!!!!
I will be seeing you ladies in Arlington this Friday - I am so pumped for my first WNBA game!!
Can’t wait to see Caitlin and Aliyah!!
I'm only just now acquainting myself with the Fever (we all know why) but I already love Christie. Her enthusiasm is so contagious. I really look forward to watching how Caitlin makes the team better with her passing. Christie hit on one thing about Caitlin that I noticed at Iowa and that was her ability to create spacing, not just for herself, but for her teammates as well. I really look forward to watching them. The DVR has already been set.
I'm from Los Angeles and can't wait to watch the Fever play.
Christie reminds me of Sean McVay of the Rams. She is a great communicator.
Hard work wins more games! Go fever! 😃

@@Juke582 He's an idiot. He keeps copy/pasting a comment about seeing Caitlin and Aliyah at Olive Garden. I've seen it 4 times so far. There always has to be that one person.
Amazing Coach. Not going to lie, the way she talks is so focused and locked in. Indiana is about to be the most feared team in the W.
Yea ok coming off a 13 win season the other teams are scared out of their boots 😂
no they’re not. The coach sucks. Y’all in for a huge surprised
@@amcra1expected hate....I mean I get it...but CC is going to cook everyone
Dang, Indiana digital team is so on point with their social media presence. Good quality of videos even got chapters cut (love it). Keep it up! GO FEVER
Caitlin is THE REASON for the SEASON!
Who would have ever thought that a 40 year old Mexican decent father ever subscribed to the Indiana Fever CZcams channel. Role models are hard to find due to my traditional catholic beliefs. On board the Clark Train.
That's what's up
@miguelt Thank you!!! There's always room on the Clark Train!! Add Aliyah Boston as well. I can't wait until I learn all of the others names.
Good for you bro!!!
Phenomenal interview by all 3 women! I'm from Philly but rooting hard for them. Glad to hear Wheeler accepts coming off the bench. Can't wait to see them in Brooklyn on June 2. Fever @ Liberty!
WE ARE SO EXCITED!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
👍
God bless you from Iowa such a awesome role model
Do you have Caitlin fever? Wear a mask, get the vaccine, because it's HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS.
Ms. Clark is ready, and so I am.
Caitlin and Aliyah are so charming!! ❤
Aliyah gives a great interview.
Cannot wait to watch this team grow and evolve
Great interviews from the coach, Clark and Boston 😊 Go Fever! Have a great season. Hoosier native rooting for you from Dallas, Texas!

I’m so stoked to have a sport to follow this time of year! And I owe it to CC22 for making me aware of how awesome the women’s game is! Go Fever🎉🎉🎉
She's gonna be dishing off some sick dimes to Aliyah this year.
Im excited for the season and this coach is excited too! This coach is on it!!!!!!!!
Best wishes to the team !!!
I bought tickets to see CC and Fever in Dallas in September on the first day tickets go on sale to public. Tickets were sold out within an hour! Can’t wait.
No they weren't total BS. The Pacers maybe but not the Fever.
@@GregoryAlanBaileygamereviewsI was curious and it actually is sold out. I’m sure a lot of ticket resellers, but sold out.
The Pacers suck....@@GregoryAlanBaileygamereviews
Welcome to Indiana Caitlin! 🙂↔️
Let's go cc! I'm excited for season
I think this team is going to be really great, in big part because of the talent, but in bigger part because they all seem to have the right mentality for success. Good heads on good shoulders.
They need a microphone for the media asking the questions
There's a lot they need, they need real talent.
I'm doing the same. Just 2 games there that I can't get them otherwise
Go Aces!!!
Caitlin will step in as much as a Leader as AB! Together they will ROCK
I continue to be so impressed. I continue to watch and want to see and hear more from these people. It’s only the beginning for me. Started watching CC late this season and now she has introduced me to more impressive women. Last night I had a conversation about going to a WNBA game in CT. Never saw any of this coming. I continue…
Just build the offense around caitlin clark
This
This
And alayia Boston
most good teams in this league are built around a dominant post player (Aliyah Boston) with an elite point guard … run it through Aliyah and she’ll find the best option, watch games from last season
Go fever
Go fever
Just build the offense around caitlin clark
@@GregoryAlanBaileygamereviews That would be a huge mistake. Utilize the talents of the entire team. That strategy cost Iowa the championship against South Carolina. At worst, Indiana is a dual threat with Clark and Boston. "We" ball will always beat "me" ball. Let's not wear CC out in her first year and temper our expectations. Otherwise, she'll burn out quickly.
Caitlin Clark is just Good People! I was thinking 🤔 or her this weekend with all Bad Weather/Storms/Tornadoes in Iowa/Nebraska area… I hope everyone is safe! ✌️
I’m still hoping for someone to Sign Gabbie Marshall to a WNBA contract… She is a Spark ⚡️ Plug that could help any Team… ✌️
Gabby is going to be an occupational therapist. That is her dream in life. She did not put her name into the WNBA draft.
@Chris like @colleen said, she is transferring to N.C. to get her Masters in Occupational Therapy.
@@colleencarlson9195, I’m happy for her. All the best in the future! ✌️
@@survivrs, Thank you for the update, I’m happy for her and her Family! ✌️
Came for CC but damn AB is amazing in interviews. So fun.
They've got a really special chemistry together. I saw them at Olive Garden in Castleton yesterday, they looked like two best buddies, they were both on their phones chewing bubblegum.
@@GregoryAlanBaileygamereviews SERIOUSLY???? THAT IS THE SAME COMMENT FOR THE 10TH TIME!! I'm so fkn sick of you.
Indiana hosting The Boston-Three party!!!
a lot of pressure on her but she's handling it well. bringing a lot of fans to the league
@blackbeanburger cool name, she is almost ALWAYS cool as a cucumber. She LOVES to play basketball. She tries to create great plays for her teammates, she feeds the ball to teammates, and I doubt that is going to change with the Fever. I just hope Indiana loves her as much as Iowa does.
If Boston's energy is any indication of what the team will be like then this will be a great team to follow, watch and cheer for.
Cady and Aliyah have got a really special chemistry together. I saw them at Olive Garden in Castleton yesterday, they looked like two best buddies, they were both on their phones chewing bubblegum.
@@GregoryAlanBaileygamereviews Really??? That's 11 times, same copy/paste comment. Are you 12? And that's an insult to 12 yo's everywhere.
The TEAM needs to find the ability to support Caitlin for the wins. She came from a Team. Not just one. A true TEAM. Support your team, EVERYONE matters in winning.
Probably not the first person to be reminded of Stockton and Malone. This is reminding me of the 80s and 90s NBA. So many great teams and real rivalries. Looking forward to seeing CC dishing to AB and watching post moves again.
Caitlin and AB are going to be dynamic together...and that's not to sell the other ladies short! This team has weapons all over the floor!
As coach stated you can't double team anyone on the team. You'll pay.
Don’t forget about Leilani!!! I’ve seen her play since she was in NJ, she’s a problem. Lei and CC are going to be the new splash bros. You heard it here first.
They've got a really special chemistry together. I saw them at Olive Garden in Castleton yesterday, they looked like two best buddies, they were both on their phones chewing bubblegum.
@@GregoryAlanBaileygamereviews keep an eye on our girl for us. Being only 20 minutes from Iowa City. Everyone around here has a hole in their heart from her moving on but we're all excited for Caitlin and the Fever.
@@GregoryAlanBaileygamereviews 8 TIMES, SAME COMMENT....WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU???
Hearing these young ladies talk you can see how relaxed they are and at ease with the media. That can transcend onto the court. Love their energy. I think when Caitlin talks about having fun that can be addictive to her teammates. Excited to see how they do.

With Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell on the same team they are both excellent shooters should be real fun watching the fever this year
it won’t be and y’all are about to find out why
@@amcra1Yup!🤭
Got a fever..The INDIANA FEVER...😍🙏🏻
I started watching iowa play because of my nephew who is 10 years old he loves Caitlin clark so much. I have always kept up with woman's basketball but this has helped us bond so much. Seeing her get drafted to Indiana and how fast my nephew has become a fan of all of the fever players has really made me happy. Im so proud he hss such great role models to look up to.
Go Fever from a fan from Buenos Aires (since before we knew the pick 1 to this last draft and Caitlin impact)
Celeste Taylor got a shout out from the coach, that's a very good sign.
Fun Fact: CC, AB, and Celeste Taylor were all teammates on Team USA U19 squads. Queen Egbo also, but the Fever traded her. Apparently she wanted more playing time. But she wasn't going to get as much as she wanted anytime soon, since Boston and Smith are the Fevers starting post players.
AB CC! I’ve got the Fever! Excited to hear things are going well and looking forward to the season!
You can really see how much Coach Bluder instilled mentally in Caitlin the past year. She’s ready to take on this pressure because she probably had even more pressure at Iowa.
@llcooljay Cool name!! Lisa Bluder and Caitlin Clark learned things from each other. A great coach and a great player. Coach gave Caitlin free reign as she started really showing her talent in her freshman year. I wish we could have seen those games but with COVID there were only cardboard cutouts in the arenas everywhere.
For me, it's the passing too!!!
Haven't watcher her a lot but that was the first thing I noticed. She drops dimes
@dalecover Caitlin makes quick behind her back bounce passes near the basket where her post player should get it and put it up for 2. She did it at Iowa, and I would have to watch it over because I never saw the pass but there's only been a very few of her passes that teammates didn't catch. She fires bullets, and they are accurate. Then there's this little known fact that she can hit 3's from just about anywhere past the time line. She is dangerous anywhere, and I'm sure glad she's in Indiana.
3 of the top 25 NCAA career 3pt leaders on one team. Caitlin, Kelsey and Katie.
I'm a new Indiana Fever fan from Philippines ... Go Fever
Great interview ❤❤
INDIANA needs to make this Team the “CLASS” of The WNBA, where Players want to go play at, People want to go see the Team play and Televised Viewers want and Demand to watch.
Class of?🤔
Excited for friday
I think Caitlin and Aliyah are going to be so fun to watch and are going to be awesome together!
Bruh why tf am I watching my 1st wnba press conference ITS TRAINING CAMP… Big CC thats why
I am so happy for this team to be the landing spot
Thank you for your appreciation of Caitlin's passing along with her shots. She will find open players to slingshot a ball to if she doesn't have a good shot. She is not a ballhog, she is a point guard who has such an amazing vision of the court, seeing plays before they happen, and be ready for that pass.
cc and ab is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Send your daughters to Iowa if you really want them to get a quality education and expose them to real leaders
The worst party school in the country.
Nah. Just raise them right like her parents
Excited for Clark 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I am curious about the 3-on3 work and who gets paired up with Boston and CC. I am guessing another big (PF) who can set some double screen or do some work on your off ball screens.
Coach must decide on starting 5 soon so that they work out the plays and cutting. Celeste must be a third scorer to justify her playing time. I don't know the team well enough to guess who will be the second ball handler to do fast break 3s and layup.
Aliyah looks great!!! I'm excited for her sophomore season!!!
Aliyah and her smile, every time I've seen her, you can see that smile just wants to come out.
Hope martin gets cut by the aced would be great for Clark to have her on team she can calm clark down when things get tuff
@hanidallou You do realize that the Fever has more than 12 players and they're having to make cuts. The team can have no more than 12 players and no less than 11 players, so while I would LOVE to see Kate in a Fever uniform, it's just nice to know they can stay in contact. If Kate is part of Vegas's 12, I will be super happy.
Aliyah is so funny. I love that she's gotten stronger. I want to know how much she deadlifts! I saw her in an interview with Chelsea Gray last year and Gray mentioned how focusing on her body really took her to the next level professionally. You could see the wheels turning in Boston's head when she was talking. Learn from your vets.
Hit me funny that I am watching a prepress conference for the WNBA and have Indiana Fever's schedule written on my calendar. Have never watched a WNBA game and now cannot wait. Hope this team bonds like the Iowa team... sounds like they all are... they will all need to support each other with the way the other WNBA teams are building up the rivalry with Indiana so they can get the attention and seats filled like Fever, too.
Love Sides as the head coach
She needs to do something different from last year.
Seems Coach
If Aliyah Boston is pulled for high post too much, rebounds will suffer, have to have offensive rebounds to make the playoffs. Indiana now has 2-3 accomplished outside shooters, but if they aren't finding the groove at times, really need that inside presence after the shot. IMO
She's 6'5", she'll be fine.
@@GregoryAlanBaileygamereviews Yes, agree, Boston is a big gal 225 lbs /6'5". Coach Christie mentioned playing her out more, and high post since she is getting better at shooting outside, but that really isn't her main strength.
@@user-ji4gz8qs1e Kamilla Cardoso will be a problem if they match up against each other
Maybe I shouldn't read too much into what Coach Sides said but maybe other teams should take note.
Catch and Shoot will be easy for Clark she should play PG for the whole Game and that coach is one of the best looking in the wnba
She's gonna be dishing off some sick dimes to Boston all day every day baby. She's gonna be Steve Nash on that damn court.
@hanidallou Caitlin IS the point guard, same position she has played for years, since AAU ball before she was a teenager. She has such amazing court vision, and it won't take long for people to see how valuable she is. She was the driving force for Iowa, they went to the National Championship 2 years in a row, broke SC's winning streak in Aliyah's senior year in the final 4, losing to LSU, and lost this year to SC, only it was the championship game.
Coach Sides... how tight will the reigns be on Caitlin? Are you willing to let her shoot "at will", or will there be limitations?
🚦 Green light, baby!
Do you think Steve Kerr told Steph "don't take as many shots"? 😂
Come on, Steve .
@steveking Green light all the way baby!!! Bluder tried to reign her in as a freshman, but she was taking them and making them. By her sophomore year, Bluder pretty much let her do what she did, and at several interviews with Caitlin, her standard response when asked about it, Caitlin says that "she let's me be Caitlin". It was easy to see who on the floor had things under control, but Lisa always had things to talk about when they came in for a timeout or at halftime, and they all paid attention, so Caitlin will do what she is told. She has great respect for her coaches.
CC passing underrated she really is a great passer it gets over looked because of her 3s
Damn! CC got no break. Just right into it.
Aliyah and caitlin are too funny 😂😂
They've got a really special chemistry together. I saw them at Olive Garden in Castleton yesterday, they looked like two best buddies, they were both on their phones chewing bubblegum.
@@GregoryAlanBaileygamereviews After 12 times now, my own bubblegum has lost it's taste, my phone died, and Olive Garden kicked us out. Nothing new and original??
