San Antonio, Final Four…I was sitting near Maya’s grandparents. They couldn’t have been more gracious and humble. She comes from good people. My all time favorite player and person.One of my best memories was attending a Big East early round tournament game at the XL center when you could sit anywhere you wanted because of the light attendance. The person 1 or 2 seats to the right of me looked incredibly like Maya Moore. So I asked her about it. It turned out to be Maya's mother, who could have passed for Maya's older sister. We chit-chatted a little bit, but I didn't want to bug her. After a while Maya came by to sit a few minutes with her mother and I got to chit-chat with her a little bit. It was a good day.
Yes, we were. I was a Lynx fan from the jump and would attend games during the down years, when we had Svetlana. But watching Maya play in Minnesota was a great treat.Lynx fans in Minnesota were treated to 8 years of Maya! She was as great off the court as she was on. Best player I've ever seen in person, period.
ESPN showed a great picture of Maya and that great player. Not gonna lie, got me in the feels department.BTW: a pretty fair player is one HUGE fan of Maya. Maya will be in the house today watching her play...hugs
already abound. Who is it? Check the general women's basketball board. Hmm...maybe some TV shots
of Maya today...1:00 to 3:00.

I didn't see this posted here so wanted to share. Delete if someone already shared it. There is video of Maya walking up to Caitlin Clark and CC's starts to fangirl. I would die right there on the spot. It was cool to see a little of CC's unguarded personality. Good for her.
I'll share my Maya story - it was my first post on the Boneyard years ago. I worked at a public library and I was on the desk for a Saturday, which I rarely worked. Right after we opened, a gentlemen came to the desk and wanted some basketball scores. I directed him to the Reference desk. About 10 minutes later, he was back and asked to speak to me. He pulled a basketball card out of his pocket and put it on the counter, and asked me if I knew who it was. I looked, and said that's Maya Moore, and she's the best player in the country and she's coming to UConn. He was stunned I knew her. It was her grandfather. We chatted for a bit and he was on his way. The reference librarian knew I was a big UConn fan, so he had sent him back to me. He was gracious, so kind - just good people. I'm not surprised that Maya is such a wonderful human being. She comes from great family.
Yes that's him! Thanks for sharing - sweet storyLombard Couple's Love for Granddaughter, WNBA Star Maya Moore
