Kate Martin 'Grateful' for Incredible Fan Support: 'I Don't Get It, Honestly'

Las Vegas Aces coach Becky Hammon might have to change Kate Martin's nickname from "Money" to "Modest." The WNBA rookie says she doesn't really understand how she was able to get so much fan support in her first season in the league.

Earlier this week, Martin met with reporters prior to the Aces' showdown against the Indiana Fever. That was a special game for Martin, who would be facing former Iowa teammate Caitlin Clark for the second time in the WNBA.

Martin was asked about the fan support she's received since her arrival in Las Vegas. She provided a humbled response to all the excitement.

"I feel really grateful to be in the position I'm in. I honestly did not expect to have any fans when I came here. I had no expectations in that sort of way and I think fans liked that. I don't know," Martin said.

"I don't really get it, honestly. If I'm being honest, at the end of the day, I don't get it. But I feel super grateful for it. It gives me a little bit of confidence, it makes me feel good when I hear the fans cheer for me when I'm checking in. So, I really appreciate that."
