Golden State Valkyries rookie Kate Martin isn’t just making waves on the court but also on social media, where her witty exchanges are nothing short of championship material. Over the weekend, Martin found herself in a playful sibling showdown when her brother, Trevor Martin, decided to test his luck in her Instagram comment section. Spoiler alert: He got hilariously dunked on.
The former Iowa Hawkeye shared a nostalgic New Year’s post—a curated nine-slide reel packed with highlights from her year. The gallery included snapshots with her basketball crew, including Caitlin Clark and Jada Gyamfi, and even a cameo from her brother, Trevor. But the real entertainment came in the comments.
Captioning her post with a playful note—”I’d go everywhere with these folks, including into year ’25 #newyearswag”—Kate might as well have lobbed the perfect alley-oop for Trevor’s jab.
“I definitely showed u this song,” Trevor commented, referring to Fleetwood Mac’s iconic “Everywhere,” which accompanied the post.
Big mistake, Trevor.
Kate’s savage, mic-drop-worthy response? “@tmart22 you wish.” The subtle jab was enough to send her followers into fits of laughter and firmly establish her as the reigning MVP of this sibling rivalry.

Kate’s post wasn’t just a playground for sibling banter; it also drew attention from Indiana Fever sensation Caitlin Clark. The two former Iowa teammates have a long history of camaraderie, as seen in one of the images where Clark kissed the Hawkeyes’ mascot, Henry, while flanked by teammates Gabbie Marshall and Monika Czinano.
Clark’s reply? A succinct but heartfelt “Love,” proving that some bonds are too strong to be broken—even by WNBA team rivalries.
From Hawkeyes to Valkyries: Kate Martin’s Next Chapter
While the Golden State Valkyries may be a new addition to the WNBA lineup, Kate Martin seems to be settling in just fine—on and off the court. Known for her leadership as a team captain during Clark’s early years with Iowa, Martin is bringing her trademark grit and humor to her professional career.
And if her Instagram game is any indication, Kate’s not just aiming for Rookie of the Year honors—she’s gunning for Most Entertaining Athlete as well.
The Real Winner? Social Media Fans
As for Trevor, he might want to brush up on his trolling skills if he plans to go up against his sister again. Kate has already proven that she’s as sharp with her comebacks as she is with her three-point shots.
In the world of sibling rivalries, this one might just be Hall of Fame-worthy. And if the Valkyries are looking for a little extra entertainment in their inaugural season, they don’t need to look any further than Kate Martin’s comment section.
Here’s to more Fleetwood Mac references, sibling roasts, and viral moments as Kate continues her rise in the WNBA. Who needs trash talk on the court when your Instagram game is this strong?
