The first time I saw Maya on live TV, I was awestruck and chuckled every time she did something spectacular, which was frequently. She reminded me of Holdsclaw, only better. The last time I saw Maya in person, she did exactly what she did at UConn--she got her team an early lead that made the game much easier. The opponent: The Spanish national team. The stage: The FIBA world cup gold medal game. The results: Gold medal and MOP trophy. Maya Moore at the pinnacle.
I'm looking forward to seeing Miss Maya, the Invincible Queen, in D.C. on Wednesday. The word "special" is inadequate to describe her.
