The Unrivaled League crowned its first-ever champions on Monday night as Rose BC emerged victorious over Vinyl BC. This historic win was particularly exciting for Indiana Fever fans, given that the championship featured two of their own players—Lexie Hull representing Rose BC and Aliyah Boston playing for Vinyl BC. This meant that, regardless of the outcome, one Fever player would return triumphant while the other would have to deal with the sting of defeat.
Caitlin Clark, another standout star for the Indiana Fever, seemed to anticipate the mixed emotions that would come with the game’s result. Ahead of the matchup, she left a lighthearted comment on the Fever’s Instagram post, saying, “One of them bouta come back angry and one happy uh oh.” When the dust settled, Hull and her team had clinched the title, securing their place in history as the league’s inaugural champions. The Fever then posted another celebratory message online, highlighting Hull’s achievement.
Clark, keeping up with her playful banter, responded to the post with a message directed at Boston, writing, “@aliyah.boston you didn’t deserve this. I’m sorry.” Boston, always quick to engage in some fun back-and-forth, replied, “@caitlinclark22 thanks pookie 😠I really needed this pick me up message from you.” Their lighthearted exchange showed that despite the loss, Boston wasn’t too shaken by the outcome.
Shortly after the championship game, Boston took to X (formerly Twitter) with a playful post aimed at Hull, saying, “@lexiehull dinner on you maybe ? 🥹”. This was a clear reference to the extra $50,000 Hull and her Rose BC teammates had earned as part of their championship victory. The friendly dynamic between these Fever teammates suggests that there are no hard feelings—just some good-natured teasing and, hopefully, a celebratory dinner in the near future.
With the Unrivaled League now in the books, all eyes turn toward the upcoming WNBA season. It wouldn’t be surprising if Clark expects an invitation to that dinner once all three Fever stars are back in Indianapolis, gearing up for another exciting year on the court.
