Aliyah Boston appears to be a very fun-loving, caring and joyful individual with her social media activities and the way she carries herself off-court. While everyone loves her for these traits, the player is also very serious and demanding on the court, showing her competitive nature. Boston even revealed crying on the team bus during a difficult rookie season with the Indiana Fever.
Now, with this all seriousness, it was obvious to see her flip out on Amari Bailey’s recent demand to go back to college. In the recent episode of her podcast, ‘Post Moves’, the star discussed the same with Candace Parker.
Aliyah Boston Reacts To Amari Bailey’s College Comeback
The Charlotte Hornets’ star was a second-round draft pick in 2023 and is currently a free agent. Eager to play and gain experience, Bailey comes up with a solution to return to the college, as he has one year left on his eligibility.
Parker joked that she also has 1 year left and suggested that all WNBA players should return to their respective college teams. Boston also slammed the idea and said, “That’s just crazy. You have played in the NBA, and you’ve played in the G League for two years. There’s no way you can go back and hoop.”
"Where does it stop" is my question. I'm not hating the player, I'm hating the game!" 😯
