Maya Moore - A League Of Her Own

[johnnyc]

Watching the overnight SportsCenter and they ran a nice little feature on Maya Moore in the Top 10 Plays of the Month Segment. Her buzzer beater in game 3 of the WNBA championship series came in at the #5 and then they mentioned the 'league of her own' bit by pointing out that in her first five seasons she's won three titles, an MVP award & a Rookie of the Year award.

Look how even opposing fans honor Miss Maya Moore!

Maya is arguably the most respected player in the league, along with Catch and Sue. I recall hearing the L.A. huddle, when they were in a close, late-game situation and Brian Agler was telling them to foul. Candace Parker said, "Don't foul Maya." On late game free throws, she's money. Similarly with late game 3-pointers from the top of the key. Maya Moore must be the luckiest play ever to have been on so many championship teams.

Let's not forget her two Chinese titles as well

Let's not forget her two Chinese titles as well

Maya was 3-4 in high school (plus 1 national championship), 2-4 at UConn, 3-5 in the WNBA, 1-1 in Spain, 1-1 in the Euroleague, 3-3 in China, 1-1 in the FIBA WCs, and 1-1 in the Olympics. That's 15 championships in 20 tries. She is in a league of her own. She has won at every level, in every league, and done so at a 50% rate or higher. Unparalleled. At age 26.

Obviously, she'll only play on the best teams.

I absolutely love sarcasm... great one.

WOW - can't believe such a staunch defender of all things Uconn could short change Miss Maya on a WC, but you did!
Maya Moore is proud owner of two FIBA WC Golds - she is 2 for 2 having played somewhat sparingly in the 2010 WC as a college player.

Aargh! Yes, I forgot the one I didn't see in person. So, she's 16 for 21. One WC as a college player and the MVP/MOP her next time out, 4 years later.
