I think it’s such a great, such a fun opportunity, especially being in Indy. I think things can be pretty awesome,” Boston said as cameras rolled, making it clear she’s locked in.

Caitlin Clark might be staying silent on her pick of Aliyah Boston, but not everyone is. ESPN legend Dick Vitale stepped in following questions on Clark’s All-Star strategies and recent voting snub.

“Pure jealousy,” Vitale blasted, referring to WNBA insiders ranking Clark ninth among guards. He added that her impact on salaries, TV ratings, and the league’s exposure is too big to ignore.

Legacy has layers. While fans guess picks, Caitlin Clark is building a blueprint. Vitale’s backing shows that even off-court narrative, votes, casts, and coverage, tracks right back to both impact and timing.
