Indiana Fever All-Star Aliyah Boston gave a shoutout to Uber Technologies for its latest membership program benefiting students. She learned about it through former collegiate teammate Bree Hall who featured it in a social media post.
Uber One for Students is a membership program that offers eligible college students discounted access to Uber and Uber Eats services. It is something that Hall, in an Instagram post, said is a big help for student-athletes like her, making her day-to-day life a whole lot easier.
Aliyah Boston was among those who reacted to the post of Hall, saying that after seeing the video, she was moved to call for an Uber. It was a virtual sign of thumbs-up to the what she believes is a worthwhile program by the tech company, which has a market capitalization of $141.12 billion as of 2024.
The two-time WNBA All-Star wrote in the comments section:
“I just called for an Uber after watching this video.”
Boston and Hall were teammates at the University of South Carolina, winning a national title together in 2022. The former has since moved on to the WNBA and is a key piece in Indiana alongside Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell. Hall, meanwhile, is a senior with the Gamecocks (16-1), averaging 6.6 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 17 games so far.
Aliyah Boston sees game improving with stint in Unrivaled
Aliyah Boston is set to participate in the inaugural season of the 3-on-3 Unrivaled Basketball League beginning this week. It is a stint she believes will only make her better as a player.
The Indiana Fever star power forward/center is rostered with the Vinyl Basketball Club, joining forces with Rae Burrell (LA Sparks), Jordin Canada (Atlanta Dream), Dearica Hamby (Sparks), Rhyne Howard (Dream) and Arike Ogunbowale (Dallas Wings). The team is coached by former WNBA player and Chicago Sky coach Teresa Weatherspoon.
In an interview with the Indianapolis Star, Boston shared her thoughts on taking part in the newly formed league and how it will help her game, saying:
“[It will allow] me to work in space, and allowing me to just be confident in the stuff I’ve worked on this offseason, I think that’s the biggest thing. Knowing that I put in the work, and knowing that I put in the time, and knowing those things will execute.”
Aliyah Boston enters Unrivaled off another All-Star season with the Fever, where she posted numbers of 14 points, 8.9 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.2 blocks in 40 games. She also helped the team reach the postseason for the first time after eight years.
In the new 3-on-3 league, she is one of three Fever players seeing action, with the others being Lexie Hull (Rose BC) and Katie Lou Samuelson (Phantom BC).
Unrivaled tips off on Jan. 17 and runs till March 17, including playoffs.
