KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Maya Moore and Seimone Augustus gave the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame induction ceremony a huge Minnesota feel. Moore and Augustus helped the Lynx win four WNBA championships in their time with the team. “I’m hard pressed to think of another dynasty that had a better combination of talent, character, and visible chemistry on the court and the league’s teams that I played for,” Moore said Saturday night. Augustus, who peppered her speech with a lot of humor, put it simply: “We like to win and win a lot.” The pair also led the U.S. to Olympic gold medals in 2012 and 2016, while Augustus was also part of the 2008 team. Other inductees included former players Taj McWilliams-Franklin, who played her final two years with the Lynx, and Rita Gail Easterling; former official Violet Palmer, the first woman to referee an NBA game; and coaches Sue Phillips and Roonie Scovel. |
