Among the dozens of stars who have passed through college basketball, the international ranks, and the WNBA, women like Diana Taurasi, Candace Parker, Tina Charles, Sue Bird, and more stand out for the incredible numbers they have registered in key categories. One name you will not often see alongside those just listed on career statistics lists, however, is that of Maya Moore. Universally recognized as a phenomenal basketball player, Maya Moore made a personal decision to cut her own career short in a way that kept her from climbing up those statistical lists. This does not mean, though, that she affected her own standing as one of the most successful and impactful women’s basketball players in history. As much as she might have accomplished more from a statistical standpoint, Maya Moore was an unparalleled winner. And in sports, it has often been the case that winning is a truer measure of greatness and effectiveness than any individual numbers. This is a reality that has been proven true countless times, not only across all sports but also across eras. Look to baseball, for instance, where the New York Yankees, arguably the most successful franchise in the history of professional sports, count Yogi Berra among their greatest legends. Berra was a star player from a statistical perspective, but there are few categories in which he is listed among baseball’s most accomplished individuals. Even among all-time Yankees, he is out-ranked by other greats in many major categories. Did you enjoy this excerpt?
