How we treat each other…
🐐 🐐
Game recognizes game. Real sportsmanship.
Both women lovely….supporting each other…respecting the game….celebrating fans…
Awesome!!
a scream of unbridled joy. i love this. two legends
Maya got cakes
Not saying that Clark can't rise to (Goat) status but Maya is the female version of Jordan,, LeBron stats doesn't make him better than Micheal was,Moore retired early just as Jordan but look at what they accomplished,, Moore 2 Olympic golds ,,2 Fiba golds ,,2 ncaa championship,,4 wnba championship,,it's not fair to say she is the gost somply because she is the all time leader in scoring,, allow her the opportunity to first surpass the wnba greats
I miss Maya Moore playing. She is such a phenomenal player. Probably the 🐐 in terms of pure basketball skills and IQ.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I wish Maya was more warmer to her… she always speaks of her so highly.
Caitlin clearly trying to hold back tears is so wholesome.
This was cool.
The original GOAT meets the new GOAT. That sweet wonderful reaction was extremely priceless.
Love this🩷
Maya come back!!!! One more season!!!!
I love how Caitlin mimes reaching UP to hug her hero — she still remembers from the point of view of that little girl. 🙂❤
Maya the GOAT on and off the court.
The way she screamed…She was 10 years old all over again! Great moment!
Maya moore is the greatest women basketball ever during my life,woman micheal Jordan
Omg lol.
This is what its about!! I love WBB. The passion and excitement of play is so over the top! ❤❤❤
My favorite women's player ever Maya Moore
Maya is THAT girl!!!
Maya Moore was and is COLD BLOODED!
What an awesome and heartfelt moment there.
Blissful moment 🤎
I wonder how her racist fans and media feel that she has a black idol. Too funny. Oh but wait til they see the strongest lie and delusion. Surprise…
Acts 5:30
“The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.”
Thats beautiful to see..Hopefully in 20 years itll be Caitlin Clark walking out to hug it out with a little girl she inspired..its so true what Maya said bout it being a full circle moment ❤❤
Happy Birthday Maya Moore🎂🎁🎈
The scream at the end was Dope!😂😂😂 Never seen CC so GEEKED
I'm a Candace Parker fan but Maya Moore is a great example for the next generation of women's basketball players
UCONN alumni and have followed Geno's career from day one. GOAT is a tough one because Maya and Stewie have had such amazing collegiate, Olympic and WNBA careers. Sue Bird is also in that discussion, but she did not/could not take over a game like Maya or Stewie. Some will say Taurasi, but you need to remember her horrible game that cost them the title her freshman year. She was not as consistent as Maya or Stewie. Stewie has a game similar to Kevin Durant; she can do it all. So I'd have to give her the edge.
Maya Moore – world class human.
Maya Moore. My most fave woman baller ever.
