Maya Moore is an all-time player but she always had the luxury of playing with great players. After Tina Charles left for the NBA. Maya/UConn lost to S.Diggin/Notre Dame in the final four....When Minny won their first championship S.Augustus was really the #1 option, not Maya...In 2011 as a rookie Maya only avg 13/5/3 during the RS and 14/6/2 during the playoffs...Yes, Maya was a huge factor and minny doesn't win the Championship without her, but she wasn't a dominant #1 option who had to carry a huge load......In 2012 T. Catchings with a bunch of role players (Without their 2nd best player) beat a stacked Minnesota team in the finals...Not a good look for Maya.....When Minny started to fall off they traded for the most dominant center in the league (Fowles)...who would go on to win the regular season and finals MVP

I don't think I've ever seen Catchings, DT or CP3 lose when they were the clear-cut favorites...I've seen Maya lose 2 times as the favorite...1 time to Notre dame and 1 time to Indiana...........That being said, Maya is a goat-level player, but she isn't cracking my top 3 (Catchings, Taurasi, Parker)...I have Maya in the 4-8 range all time with Cooper, Swoopes, Jackson, and Leslie....However, Stewart/Wilson are coming.

You're speaking accolades

She didn't play like a woman...she was smooth yet dominant, and well-rounded

I was just speaking from a basketball point of view....but I agree with you 100% that Maya has done phenomenal things off the court that elevates her greatness.
