A college basketball superstar gave away her All-Tournament trophy to an 'All-Star' teammate who she thought deserved the recognition

• Aliyah Boston gave her SEC All-Tournament Team trophy to a teammate that she thought deserved recognition.
• Senior Laeticia Amihere averaged 12.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 3.0 assists through the tournament.

Aliyah Boston is just as good a teammate as she is a basketball player.

And as anyone who's been watching women's college basketball for the last few years could tell you, that's a pretty high bar.

The reigning National Player of the Year was named the SEC Tournament MVP after leading her undefeated South Carolina Gamecocks to their conference tournament title Sunday afternoon. But Boston — who also earned SEC All-Tournament honors for her impressive string of performances in Greenville, South Carolina — opted to share the love rather than basking in the spotlight on her own.

The South Carolina superstar center gifted her All-Tournament team hardware to teammate Laeticia Amihere once the Gamecocks gathered in the locker room. The senior forward enjoyed something of a breakout over the course of the tournament, averaging 12.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 3.0 assists through South Carolina's three games and even leading the Gamecocks in scoring against Ole Miss.

And after Sunday's big win, Boston announced to the locker room that she thought Amihere deserved some recognition.

"I think you played really well this entire tournament and honestly we probably wouldn't be here without you," Boston told Amihere in front of the team. "I do think you deserve to be an All-Star, and so I'm just gonna give you mine because it's well deserved."

She then presented an emotional Amihere with the glass trophy. The classmates embraced as the rest of their teammates cheered.

After a group of players and coaches lined up to celebrate with Amihere and offer her congratulatory hugs, the team huddled up and Boston led the team in a cheer.

"Together on three," she shouted. "One, two, three: Together!"
