In WNBA's money era, players should know a bigger platform means a brighter spotlight

INDIANAPOLIS — Wednesday morning at the Indiana Fever media day, a reporter asked Aliyah Boston to share about her offseason. She did, succinctly and politely, while keeping a lid on the details.She volunteered how she had gone home and trained five times a week. She touched on her time playing for the Unrivaled league, smiled to herself while briefly reminiscing about a trip to Barbados, and hastened to her conclusion that her break was all a “grind.” Two questions later, someone else inquired where those “home” workouts had taken place. A harmless follow-up, seemingly, but judging by Boston’s reaction, it was as though she had been asked to reveal her Social Security number and bank account PIN.“Oooo,” Boston purred. “You in my business.”Advertisement
