Maya Moore, probably only a few
know her as <a href="/biography/maya-moore">Maya April Moore</a> is an American professional <a href="/biography/maya-moore">basketball player</a> in
the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA). She plays as an attacking
forward for Minnesota Lynx and has won the Naismith Prep Player of the Year,
twice in 2006 and 2007. Having achieved major success in the United States, she
has also played in other leagues across different countries, for example: Ros Casares Valencia team for which she
won the European as well as Spanish leagues. Also, she played in Germany,
Finland and China and is also a winner with her country. Likewise, her
illustrious career is reflected with her achieving gold medals in competitions
like 2014 FIBA World Championship, 2012 London Olympics and 2010 FIBA World
Championship. With more than 1.4 million followers on her Twitter already, she
has achieved a wide fame and fan following around the world.

Maya was born on the June of
1989, in Jefferson City, Missouri, USA and was raised all by her mother. She didn’t
meet her father but often heard how good a player he used to be. When she was 3
years of age, her mother hung a basketball ring in the back door of her house,
and it was since then that she started to play the ball. She was also in the
regular starting lineup in her school’s basketball team. Studying up at the Collins Hill High School, Georgia her
promising future saw her getting promoted to the USA Today Freshman and
Sophomore All-America Teams. Her team “Eagles” who were averaging a 24 points
per game, did very well in the championships and play offs but eventually lost
to the No. 1 Christ the King High School’s
team in the finals. Apart from basketball Maya also was a winner with the high
jump team in 2005 Georgia State 5A Championships. With her average GPA of 4 per
year, she graduated receiving the "best all-around" senior title,
laying an example for all her friends and juniors.

After graduation, she joined the University
of Connecticut and there too, used to play for her college team. With an
average of 21 points per game, she became their highest scorer in sophomore year,
a record not many can keep throughout the season. She also became the first
player to score a 1000 points in fewer games in the Universities’ history and
only the second to win the AP Player of the year title as a junior. With her
individual and team success continuing though her junior year, she carried the
same legacy as a senior, and was named as the “<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NCAA_Basketball_Tournament_Most_Outstanding_Player">Most Outstanding Player</a> of the
Philadelphia Region.” After the end of regular seasons, she was named for the Big
EAST All-First team, and was titled as Big East Player of the Year. She led her
team at the university to the National Championships twice and ended as the 4th
leading scorer in the history of NCCA, making 3,036 points. Her list of awards
and titles does not end right here, just like her career that is not going to
end so soon. With her fame already spread far and wide, her net worth value of
$150 thousand dollars also highlights the success that she has earned.
