Video: Maya Moore’s Jersey Retired By Lynx; WNBA Icon Gets Custom Jacket, Gold Shoes | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

Maya Moore became the fourth Minnesota Lynx player to have their jersey retired on Saturday, joining an elite club of WNBA icons.

Moore joined Lindsay Whalen, Rebekkah Brunson and Seimone Augustus to have their jersey numbers forever enshrined in Lynx history.

Along with having her jersey hung in the rafters, Moore was gifted a custom jacket and gold Jordan basketball shoes.

Some of Moore’s Lynx teammates were in attendance on Saturday and spoke highly of the Minnesota legend.

“You brought the best out of all of us, that’s how special you are,” Brunson said of Moore.

Sylvia Fowles, who played with Moore from 2015 to 2018, joked about how Moore “moved at her own pace.”

“When we got in here on the first day of practice, I mean you talk about hit the ground running,” Fowles said. “I was like, ‘How do I keep up with these ladies? Maybe I was doing the wrong thing.’ But Maya definitely was the one who moved at her own pace, which is slow. Y’all see her out here dabbing and moving, but in the back, you’re not rushing Maya to do nothing.”

Moore had a legendary eight-year career in Minnesota. She helped lead the Lynx to four WNBA championships and earned Finals MVP in 2013. She was the 2014 MVP and a six-time All-Star, winning All-Star Game MVP three times.

She led the league in steals in 2018, points in 2014 and was named to the WNBA All-First Team five times.

By the time she retired in 2018, it was only a matter of time before the Lynx retired her jersey, and now that day has finally come.
