WNBA Legend Delivers Sobering Warning About Caitlin Clark, Paige Bueckers & Other’s Path During HoF Speech

Maya Moore getting inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in the Class of 2025 was about as shocking as the sun rising in the morning. To mark the moment, she recreated Michael Jordan’s iconic Nike ring ad. But it wasn’t just the photoshoot that stole the show. Moore dropped some powerful words that are sure to light a fire under the next wave of Hall of Famers, including rising stars like Caitlin Clark.

Maya Moore has a career resume that almost feels unreal. Three state championships in high school with a 125-3 record at Collins Hill, two national titles at UConn with a 150-4 record, four WNBA championships with the Minnesota Lynx, a league MVP, a Finals MVP, and six All-Star appearances. During her Hall of Fame speech, she opened up about the challenges new players could face on their own paths and what it truly takes to sustain greatness at every level.

“With insecurities and fears as you navigate your sports journey. You have to figure out what motivates you every day when you get up out of bed. And there’s a lot of pressure, I think, to be motivated by fear and approach your team and your teammates that way. Fear of sharing the spotlight, fear of looking bad, fear of having to wait your turn and losing out on money. That’s a lot of pressure. I get it,” she said. “But I want to challenge you. Up and comers to learn to love and seek out joy and connection as your biggest motivator,” she said.
