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.

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.

Speaking of Maya ...

She turned that corner and walked in like an Avenger. Caitlin mentions Maya first and singularly on player she admires on inspires her. What a great moment. Maya looks like she could hop on the court and still give everyone a run for their money. Also - she's clearly over 6 foot, cute to see her standing next to Caitlin.
 
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.

“How would you react if you saw Maya walking around the corner toward you?“

Answer: “Great game, Maya”

My wife and I and another couple were at the XL Center the night UConn won their record breaking 89th straight game with Maya getting a career high 41 points. After the game we walked over to Jim Calhoun’s bar for a drink. As we got up to leave Maya walked in and straight toward us. When she got close I said, “ great game, Maya” and she replied simply, “thanks”. As soon as we got outside my wife, who had been walking behind me, and had heard me say something to her, asked “who was that”. Turns out she and the couple we were with hadn’t recognized her.

P.S. Once, after a game at Gampel, my wife and I walked over to the parking garage and rode the elevator up with Stef Dolson. My wife never recognized her and was shocked when I told her who it was.

In 1990 my Mother was in a Manhattan Hospital in NYC and I crashed into Joe DiMaggio coming out and all I could say was "Hi Joe"!
Usually if I encounter someone famous/well-known I give them their space as they usually get the loud attention and are doing private things!

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.
