Bree Hall Shares Aliyah Boston’s New Adidas Ad Featuring NBA Star Anthony Edwards

In a heartwarming moment for fans of South Carolina basketball, senior guard Bree Hall took to social media on Tuesday to share an inspiring new Adidas advertisement featuring her former Gamecocks teammate Aliyah Boston, alongside NBA star Anthony Edwards.

The commercial, released by the global sportswear giant valued at $47.56 billion according to Forbes, emphasizes the importance of those who encourage athletes and their significant impact. The message is clear: “We all need someone to make us believe,” the ad states, followed by an empowering “You got this.”

Both Aliyah Boston and Anthony Edwards have lucrative endorsement deals with Adidas. In the ad, Boston, now with the Indiana Fever, offers some empowering pregame advice: “Just don’t forget what I said to you this morning,” she tells Edwards. “You are equipped. Don’t allow anyone or anything to tell you different.” Meanwhile, Edwards, the shooting guard for the Minnesota Timberwolves, is seen arriving for a game, radiating confidence and readiness.

Bree Hall and Aliyah Boston: Their Journey at South Carolina

Bree Hall is currently in her fourth year with the No. 4-ranked South Carolina Gamecocks. This season, she’s averaging 6.4 points and a career-high 3.1 rebounds per game. Her shooting has been particularly sharp, with a 39.2% shooting percentage from beyond the arc—her highest yet in college.

Hall and Aliyah Boston played together at South Carolina for two seasons, making history as national champions in 2022. After her time at South Carolina, Boston was selected as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 WNBA Draft. Now in her second season, she’s averaging 14.0 points and 8.9 rebounds per game, continuing to shine as one of the league’s top players.

Despite their busy professional careers, Hall and Boston have remained close, frequently interacting on social media and celebrating each other’s milestones. Bree Hall’s recent post featuring Boston‘s Adidas ad is just one example of their continued bond.

South Carolina Gamecocks’ Struggles in the AP Poll

Meanwhile, South Carolina has dropped two spots in the latest AP Top 25 poll after a mixed week. The Gamecocks beat the Georgia Bulldogs in Southeastern Conference action, but a loss to Texas, ranked No. 4 at the time, set them back.

In those two games, Hall contributed seven points in both matchups, shooting an impressive 50.0% from three-point range. However, she struggled against Texas, shooting only 33.3% from the field in 31 minutes of play.

Despite the setback, the Gamecocks are still sitting at a strong 22-1 record (10-1 SEC). They’ll continue their conference play with a home game against Florida on Thursday before facing a major test against the No. 7-ranked UConn Huskies, who are 22-3 and undefeated in the Big East (13-0).
