All Maya Moore does is win.

For reference, as of 2017, Maya Moore's career record (High school - WNBA) is 497-78. That is an 86.43% winning percentage.

Running it back, she grew up in Georgia, where her high school team's record was 125–3. She finished as her high school's all-time leader in points (2,664), rebounds (1,212), assists (407), and steals (467).

Then, as any legend generally does, Moore went to play college ball at UCONN. Freshman year, the team's record was 36–2. Sophomore year, they went undefeated (39-0). Junior year? Another undefeated season. Senior year they went 36-2. With quick math, you see that her college record is 150-4.

The Minnesota Lynx picked Moore as the #1 overall pick in the 2011 WNBA draft, and in her first year, she led the team to a championship. And then again in 2013, 2015, and 2017. In 2017, Sports Illustrated tagged Moore as "the greatest winner in the history of women's basketball."

She's also a 2x Olympian (2012, 2016).

In 2019 she released an article on the Player's Tribune. "There are different ways to measure success," Moore noted, as she announced forgoing the 2019 season to focus on criminal justice reform.
