Have a conversation with Maya Moore[/B] [I]Maya Moore, a four-time WNBA champion and the 2014 league MVP, is [URL='https://www.espn.com/wnba/story/_/id/25934178/how-maya-moore-absence-impact-minnesota-lynx']taking off this year from basketball[/URL]. She said in a recent New York Times story that she doesn't want to talk right now about when -- or even if -- she is returning to the sport. Moore also discussed the work she is doing involving the criminal justice system, specifically with an inmate in her hometown of Jefferson City, Missouri. That story has been the only real insight into Moore's life since her announcement via The Players Tribune in February saying that she wouldn't play this WNBA season. Other interview requests have not been granted, although Moore is reportedly working on a documentary and might address the media in the fall. It is certainly Moore's prerogative to take time away from the sport and media. It seemed clear even last season that she probably needed a break. Still, Moore is a vitally important figure in women's basketball, a future Hall of Famer even if she never plays another minute. If Engelbert hasn't talked to Moore already, she should; it doesn't have to about basketball, but just about what Moore is doing now and how she feels. That would send a message to Moore about her value to the league as a person, not just as a player.[/I] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.espn.com/wnba/story/_/id/27197820/five-ways-wnba-commissioner-cathy-engelbert-make-good-first-impression[/URL] [/QUOTE]
