This was a great interview Becky Hammon knew exactly who to put Martin with. I give major props to whomever it was that decided to draft Martin because they saw her intangibles. She is in great hands with Alysha and in greater hands with the rest of her teammates and the organization.
I absolutely LOVE the relationship AC and KM have on the Aces!! Kate comes off as such a solid, genuine soul who gives her ALL on the court and AC has proven to everyone that she is a proven winner and THEE 'X-factor' for any team that wants to win it all!! Love these two and love that Kate is learning from one of the best in the league! #ALLINLV♠
Eh, I don’t think she was the #2 option. Last year, Monika was definitely #2. This year, it was Hannah. I think that’s just the way Iowa wants to play. I would say transition would be the best thing to describe #2 for Iowa this year.
She’s humble? Which she should be and even if she was captain and number 2 best, SHE is the only one who has to look in the mirror and deal with the doubt in herself, it’s normal all humans doubt themselves. She’s gotta get into her own grove and get more confidence.
Gotta hand it to the Aces. They really know how to build a quality roster around their superstars. Kate Martin is all class and I hope I'm able to enjoy her talent on & off the court for many years.
Kate really explains well how playing for a team like Aces, just watching how they play their different roles, is helping her to understand how to fit into a team.
As a Hawkeye fan I always pull for my team, no matter where the players end up. Kate was such a great Hawkeye. Im so glad she got drafted to LV. Prime example of doing the "dirty work" and making it to the highest level. Keep kicking butt KM! Hawkeye Proud!
Heck yes!! We want more Kate Money Martin content. Thank you for doing this awesome interview. Really great learning more about both of them. Love the Becky Hammon stories from AC 🤣
Always a pleasure to see Kate. Loved her time here in IACity and she was a joy to watch. Was overjoyed the Aces drafted her and make it a point to tune into her games. While a CC and Fever fan alway a HUGE fan of Kate. Seeing her play for the Aces is a joy and while I knew names of players sadly didn’t really tune in. But with Kate in the team I decided when my Fever wasn’t playing would watch Kate. As a result I’ve gotten to see how good Wilson,Plumm and more are and really enjoy watching the game…yea even when Kate not in the court😁 The way the team has embraced Kate is awesome and is yet another reason why beyond their amazing skill that I love to tune into watch their games.
I’m just glad that Kate has gotten the opportunity to grow in Las Vegas. I look at Nika in Seattle and she hardly gets any playing time at all. Credit goes to Becky Hammond for making sure that Kate gets minutes in no matter what, giving her a real chance to continue to grow and develop.
i was thinking the exact same thing. if Kate can get minutes on the same team that has Kelsey Plum, a back to back champion, Seattle should have no excuses for the minutes Nika gets
KM's parents should be really proud. KM was a great high school players, goes to Iowa figures out how to play with Clark instead of demand the team focus on her. Clark absolutely loves her, goes to the Aces with one of the best players of all time. She clearly fits with the team in under 20 games it is obvious the team loves her. I hope through a little work we get to see her make an all-star game or two over her career.
Literally in tears watching this. Kate IS a blessing- Everything AC was saying about her work ethic, taking care of the details, her heart… all of these things that make Kate’s fans so proud of her! It’s so awesome to see Kate GETTING blessed! Being drafted to a team (at all!!) to a coach and a team who understand her value and, know how to use her talents, and want to nurture and grow her- is so beautiful and wonderful. It’s truly the definition of women supporting women. Keep Kate-ing on Kate! #killakatemoneymartin
We love Kate, and I love the way the Vegas fans have embraced her....almost to the point of embarrassment for her. And I have GOT to get me one of those fan club T-shirts! Go Kate!
Thank you to the very classy ladies of the Aces team for obviously loving and accepting Kate so sincerely. She coul not have been in a better team. I'm a Caitlin and Kate fan and i'm rooting for both your teams to do well this season and the coming ones. Go, Aces! ❤
Love AC such a beautiful person inside & out very big heart and I also love her resilience..I wish I had an AC around when I was in College to keep me more motivated and to stick with it and keep going..she’s definitely motivation..she has the heart to help & Kate I’m happy for her she’s in the right place
Kate you are a STAR in the eyes of Hawkeye fans. You deserve everything that you are receiving because you worked your butt off and grinded it out game after game. You gave 150% every game to every teammate. Wish you continued luck and success in your future. Go Kate "the glue" Martin.
After all you accomplished at Iowa, back to back NCAA Final appearances, against the top talent recruited teams, shows you can do anything you put your heart into. Don’t ever doubt yourself Kate, you earned where you are and nobody is going to take that away from you. Just keep being the best that you can, I look forward to watching you shine into the future.
I would love this to become a series with these two. AC is one of the most dialed in pros in the W. Kate seems to have a similar approach to life and the game. Solid combo.
Kate Martin is living her best life. She was a good high school player who was always going to be a Hawkeye. She was a good college player who befriended Caitlin Clark at Iowa, benefitted from playing with Clark, and helped Iowa win three Big Ten championships and make it to two NCAA title games. What she learned during that process she now gets to apply to her career in the WNBA.
We all love Kate. A lot of it probably has to do with the fact that we all watched her in college and fell in love with her there first, but she's so vibrant; it's hard not to. Now she's seeing what we all did and I'm glad.
Fun Fact: Kate Martin is the top ranked Las Vegas Aces player in jerseys sales. Her Jerseys are the 4th most sold jerseys in the WNBA. 1) Caitlin Clark - Indiana Fever 2) Angel Reese - Chicago Sky 3) Sabrina Ionescu - New York Liberty 4) Kate Martin - Las Vegas Aces 5) A'ja Wilson - Las Vegas Aces
Ladies very well done. It's this that will make me your fan AC. Impressed with you very much. Thanks to Kate and CC for allowing me to follow for these few years. Always an Illini fan but loved Hawkeye women's basketball.
I am lucky enough to live in the Iowa City area and was able to watch KM in person for her years at Iowa. She is such a treasure. I love that AC is so supportive of her. Jedn Bordón
Kate has such maturity for the game. She recognizes her role and has such a strong work ethic. She soaks in knowledge from the vets and is happy with her supportive role. It's awesome seeing a player like this and the league is better with her in it.
Watching today.. I hope Kate got that call out to Bailey. I heard she passed today 🥺 sending hugs and prayers to Kate & anyone Baileys has touched. 🙏🏽🤍
Kate you are simply the best and beautiful person in the WNBA. I really believe you can make it. You were a star player Iowa. So humble. Girl Iowa won game v UConn because of the clutch shots you made late in the game.
13:53 Its true...the generations are different the millenials, the gen z The old school rookie were timid...took time to adjust, nervous, had to work to get confident they belong, then came the new generation- over confident, think they know everything better then everyone, rude. Then there's Kate, know her worth and her value, but still humble, respectful, ready to learn from anybody... very lovely person.
This relationship between KM and AC is special! I love how AC is mentoring KM and helping her maximize her talent. I also love how she pours into KM!
My boo and Kate
Alysha is so classy, vibrant and beautiful. Kate is fortunate to share time with her.
@@wtf................. I’ll take the “my boo” as a bit of wishful thinking(and you’re entitled to it)
These two are a treasure. One thing about the Aces, the personalities are top notch
Except aja Wilson. Bad human.
I love how the Aces family has so warmly welcomed our bestie Kate to their circle. She’s the best and we are so proud of all of you!
All around class from all involved especially the fans who loved on her right out the gate!
I've been so glad to see how welcoming the Aces have been to Kate!
This was a great interview Becky Hammon knew exactly who to put Martin with. I give major props to whomever it was that decided to draft Martin because they saw her intangibles. She is in great hands with Alysha and in greater hands with the rest of her teammates and the organization.
Love AC she is such a bright light. Kate Martin is amazing she was critical to Iowa being successful. Every team needs a Kate
Just when you think you can't love Kate more, she drops she's a Fleetwood Mac fan. 🥰
Yess ..SLIVER SPRINGS ❤😂
Literally
I absolutely LOVE the relationship AC and KM have on the Aces!! Kate comes off as such a solid, genuine soul who gives her ALL on the court and AC has proven to everyone that she is a proven winner and THEE 'X-factor' for any team that wants to win it all!! Love these two and love that Kate is learning from one of the best in the league! #ALLINLV♠
Why Kate acting like she wasn’t a star player at Iowa you were literally was the captain and No.2 option love the humility 🤣
Eh, I don’t think she was the #2 option. Last year, Monika was definitely #2. This year, it was Hannah. I think that’s just the way Iowa wants to play. I would say transition would be the best thing to describe #2 for Iowa this year.

Think aces saw Martin as spoiler for Clark game (so draft her !) so Fever couldn’t!
Martin teacher skills sharp !
A,B,C,D,E for herself?
Devalue her ability in game self doubt challenge we all struggle with!
The work is on you to do!
@@llcooljay520 nah you just think that because of how they were used in the P&R and two man game
Gotta hand it to the Aces. They really know how to build a quality roster around their superstars. Kate Martin is all class and I hope I'm able to enjoy her talent on & off the court for many years.
Thanks to AC and other Aces vets.... Kate's rookie year could not have been scripted better.
These two should have a podcast 😂
Thank you Aces for running this interview - two very impressive roll models doing great things on the court and off the court.
Kate really explains well how playing for a team like Aces, just watching how they play their different roles, is helping her to understand how to fit into a team.
My two favorite players on the Aces. Clark has such a sweet soul. Kate is a throwback and a great ambassador to the W.
As a Hawkeye fan I always pull for my team, no matter where the players end up. Kate was such a great Hawkeye. Im so glad she got drafted to LV. Prime example of doing the "dirty work" and making it to the highest level. Keep kicking butt KM! Hawkeye Proud!
I love how supportive the Aces are... seems like they are never negative
I love seeing Kate Smile! 😁 AC and KM. Thank you Las Vegas!
Heck yes!! We want more Kate Money Martin content. Thank you for doing this awesome interview. Really great learning more about both of them. Love the Becky Hammon stories from AC 🤣
These two are a winning combination. I could listen to them chat all day. They need their own show/ podcast. This is a no brainer. 👏👍🏽😊
Always a pleasure to see Kate. Loved her time here in IACity and she was a joy to watch. Was overjoyed the Aces drafted her and make it a point to tune into her games.

I'm a Fever fan but I have to say - these two are AWESOME!! Love the free flowing conversation and it was so real. Great job - !
Why is it necessary to mention you are a Fever fan, in order to complement these two players? This video has absolutely nothing to do with the Fever.
This girl is a breath of fresh air. Rooting for her
I love the relationship you girls have! I love to listen to you and am so glad Kate has such a great support system in her Aces teammates
I’m just glad that Kate has gotten the opportunity to grow in Las Vegas. I look at Nika in Seattle and she hardly gets any playing time at all. Credit goes to Becky Hammond for making sure that Kate gets minutes in no matter what, giving her a real chance to continue to grow and develop.

I was voting for Kate as an All Star until she made the vid telling us to stop.
If I were a rookie in this league… Aces would be where I’d want to be. They really take time to mentor their rookies.
Alysha, you are a breath of fresh air! This is how you usher in a new generation. Much respect.
Literally in tears watching this. Kate IS a blessing- Everything AC was saying about her work ethic, taking care of the details, her heart… all of these things that make Kate’s fans so proud of her!

We love you Kate! We Iowans understand your gratefulness and your orientation to service. And we are all praying for Bailey's highest good.
We love Kate, and I love the way the Vegas fans have embraced her....almost to the point of embarrassment for her. And I have GOT to get me one of those fan club T-shirts! Go Kate!

Thanks for taking such great care of our Iowa girl!! Love how she has been received by the Aces!!
Great to see such positivity! Lovely interview.

Yes, AC! The people LOVE Kate Martin!
We love Kate, she’s the best!
