Minnesota Lynx forward Maya Moore is Sports Illustrated's Performer of the Year after winning her fourth WNBA championship this season.

The WNBA star not only led the Minnesota Lynx to its fourth title in seven years, but she's been a key player on more than a dozen teams that have won championships, ranging from her time at UConn to the WNBA to Olympic gold medals, to professional leagues around the globe. She’s added on a slew of individual awards as well, and done it all with an eye toward activism and the fight for social justice.

Since 2011, Moore has continued to excel, both with the Lynx and with overseas teams in Europe and China. Moore has won four WNBA championships (2011, 2013, 2015, 2017), WNBA Most Valuable Player Award (2014), WNBA Finals MVP Award (2013), two WNBA All-Star Game MVPs (2015, 2017), two Olympic gold medals (2012, 2016), scoring title (2014) and the WNBA Rookie of the Year Award (2011).

What can you say about Maya Moore that has not already been said. SHE is is reason I started following the WNBA. I wanted to continue to follow her as she moved on into professional basketball. I've loved every minute of it.

Thanks Maya. You're the greatest.
