WNBA fans have since reacted to Boston's new career move, saying it could be a by-product of being teammates with Caitlin Clark, who is regarded as one of the most popular women's basketball players today.

Boston had a degree in Communications in South Carolina before joining the WNBA in 2023 as the top pick of the draft. A year later, the Fever picked Caitlin Clark, forming one of the best young cores in the league.

This year, Boston has put the Fever on her back, putting up 12.7 points, and 10.7 rebounds so far in the playoffs.

Meanwhile, Clark has only appeared in 13 games this year after injuring her groin early in the season.

“This and more," Boston said via ESPN. “I mean just looking at the end of the game, we can’t really have that, especially against a team that has experience in winning championships.”
“So for us, just going back, looking at the film, seeing what we can clean up. But honestly, also being proud of ourselves that we earned ourselves another game.”
