Former Iowa guards, Gabbie Marshall and Kate Martin, exhibited their dancing prowess in a video shared on Instagram. The pair showcased some lively moves to the tune of Neon Guts by Lil Uzi Vert.
Both Gabbie Marshall and Kate Martin were present at the 2024 WNBA draft on Monday to show their support for Iowa’s Caitlin Clark. However, there was an unexpected turn of events when Kate Martin was chosen as the 18th overall pick by the Las Vegas Aces.
Martin appeared unfazed by the selection, a moment later elucidated in a video by TikTok personalities Aliyah Funschelle from Moolah Kicks, who captured the footage, and Coach Jackie J.
As per the insights of New York City-based sports reporter Aliyah Funschelle, Martin had been requested by the production team to move to an aisle seat before the draft announcement, and a cameraman strategically positioned himself in front of her. Post-selection, Martin was observed being guided to the stage by a crew member, indicating premeditation.
