But before the ball even tipped off, Boston had already stolen the spotlight.

Rapper Plies, a longtime supporter of women’s basketball and a diehard South Carolina Gamecocks fan, surprised Boston with a diamond necklace right on the court. Boston, a former Gamecock herself, was visibly shocked and touched as Plies helped her put on the sparkling gift.

“Find People That Deserve The Support & Support Them!!! @aa_boston Is One Of Them Ones!! @GamecockWBB 🔥👊🏾💯”

It was a full-circle moment celebrating Boston’s roots, her rising WNBA stardom and the growing love for women’s basketball from high-profile fans like Plies.

One thing's for sure: Aliyah Boston’s game is shining, and now, so is her jewelry.
