Maya Moore is a basketball legend. In college at UConn, she was a two-time Naismith College Player of the Year, two-time NCAA champion, and four-time first-team All-American.
The No. 1 overall pick in the 2011 WNBA Draft by the Minnesota Lynx, Moore won four WNBA titles in her eight seasons. She also earned the 2014 WNBA MVP award and six All-Star selections. Her No. 23 is retired by the Lynx. Moore also represented the United States at the 2012 and 2016 Olympics and won two gold medals.
In 2019, Moore took a sabbatical from basketball to help secure the release of Jonathan Irons, who was serving a 50-year sentence that started when he was 16 years old. She was successful in July 2020 in securing his release, and soon after she married Jonathan. Their son, J.J., was born in 2022.
In 2023, Moore and Irons released their book, “Love and Justice.”
