When Aliyah Boston speaks, people listen — especially when she’s talking about greatness. After leading the Indiana Fever to a surprising 2025 WNBA semifinal appearance, Boston recently opened up about what makes teammate Caitlin Clark so special, drawing an eye-catching comparison to none other than LeBron James himself.
In an interview following the Fever’s end-of-season exit interviews, Boston explained that what sets Clark apart isn’t just her shooting range or flashy highlights — it’s her vision and mental approach to the game.
“Caitlin sees the floor like LeBron,” Boston said. “It’s not just about scoring — it’s how she processes the game in real time. She knows where everyone’s supposed to be before the defense even reacts. That’s elite.”
It’s high praise coming from the Fever’s franchise cornerstone — and one that makes sense. Like LeBron, Clark’s basketball IQ has transformed how her team operates. Her ability to anticipate rotations, draw double-teams, and create open looks has elevated Indiana’s offense from potential to performance. Even opponents have admitted that her playmaking makes it nearly impossible to game-plan against her.
As the Fever prepare for a crucial offseason, that level of leadership — paired with Boston’s dominance inside — could be the foundation of a championship contender. With Clark expected to return fully healthy in 2026 and Indiana holding the 10th overall pick, the Fever have a golden opportunity to add even more firepower. One potential name emerging in mock drafts is Yarden Garzon, the sharpshooting Israeli guard who spent her college years lighting up scoreboards at Indiana University.
A trio of Clark, Boston, and Garzon would give the Fever an explosive mix of size, skill, and spacing — a combination the franchise hasn’t seen since its championship days. And if Clark continues to channel that LeBron-like court awareness, the WNBA Finals might just find their way back to Indianapolis sooner than anyone expected.
