Maya Moore's speech at the 2021 ESPYS

[@unreasonabledoubt165]

Dominated her career at the highest level, made a difference and impact to the real world, and found herself a solid man to settle down and build with. Maya won at a life man shouts out to her🙌🏾

[@BloodSasuke101]

Maya Moore is so beautiful man. I'm so happy she's fulfilling this calling and living her life with love and compassion first.

[@DPumm360]

She was fine while she played and she still looks amazing now 💯

[@DPumm360]

@Hey Dude to me she does 🤷🏽‍♂️ you don’t have to agree 😂

[@geneyoon1769]

She has gotten to be a big woman

[@saiyanroyalty229]

An all time great who stepped away early, worshipping God, advocating for others. This speech was awesome and I love that the ESPN put it on KZbin but it would be great if every show talked about this on MONDAY

[@dantheman8152]

Maya Moore is a great human being

[@Rico4Prez18]

To the ones commenting on her weight.. You're really revealing who you truly are. I'll pray for you all.

[@lbjj5837]

I luv her body and shape. I'll take it.

[@ji1072]

She is stunning.

Maya you da real MVP for life great speech 🎤 💯

[@Trapher2]

The Athlete in me wants Maya back on the court. The unselfish side believes Maya has played her last game and has found a new passion in life.

[@sharonali5810]

One human being with a lit torch, shining a light into this dark selfish world. Let's follow her beam to make this place a better one for all humanity

[@ephill5642]

Nevermind her weight...listen to the weighty words she unashamedly spoke. Beauty inside and out. Loving others gives you a glow (that's the Spirit). Blessings to Maya and Jonathan and her efforts to correct injustice.

[@kh-sg3rd]

Absolutely but we love our women thick a full plate

[@GMAMEC]

I just finished watching 30 for 30. May the Lord bless their journey. Please help in your own way. This can be done in so many ways...with words, letters, contributions, prayer, petitions, viable programs , support groups, educational programs, voting, holding our leadership accountable etc. We need solutions...We can’t fall for deflections, distractions, scare tactics and excuses.

[@TheUndefeatedOfTheEast]

Maya was a beast but I can tell she ain't coming back to the game.

[@shakeemrobinson30]

[@ruebascu]

Yeah, her game was nice. But she looks like she's gotten pretty comfortable

Maya you are truly a hero!! Thank you for following God's path and helping those who need us the most! I applaud you and hope others are inspired to do more!!!!!! Wishing you and Jonathan continued success and happiness!

[@hyhoops1080]

how can people dislike this like i’m so confused lmao

[@KenpoKid77]

Only focusing on her weight, having no clue how much she's been grinding for the past two years for pridon reform.

[@ypmm53]

Must be those Missouri prosecutors and others part of that flawed by design injustice system.

[@Larry11181]

Maya Moore gets it. She went out and got her a HUSBAND!!! She left her career to be a WIFE! Good for her.

[@Larry11181]

He walked his wife up to to the he stage and went back to sit down. Man!!! She’s winning!

[@KenpoKid77]

Well, you're half-right. She left basketball to work in prison reform by helping him overturn a wrongful conviction.

[@Larry11181]

@Tyana Holmes Family is the most important thing. She has a husband and most black women won’t. She put family first.

[@Larry11181]

@Tyana Holmes most BW will never marry at all. 1/4 will marry in their lifetime

[@Larry11181]

@Tyana Holmes I don’t understand the notion of marrying down for men or women. I believe that it’s a choice and we choose the best of our options. Take me for example, so it’s not so offensive. I’m rather wealthy but if all that I can attract are women that are beneath where I think I am, would I be marrying down by choosing the best of my options when all of my options are beneath where I think I am?

[@dannymontgomery208]

Maya Moore is an amazing person. The way she has stuck with fighting the justice system is extroidinary

[@helloseani]

This woman is such a beautiful example of how to live life & give at 100% to herself & others. A true inspiration and a benchmark for us to see right before our eyes. Thank you Maya & family.

So sad that almost every single comment had nothing to do with what she said but about her weight. Great world we live in these days!! 🙄🙄

[@rillp2160]

Fr smh!!! CONGRATS To her setting oh boy free!!!

[@KenpoKid77]

That's because they have no clue about what she's been doing all this time, actually doing something about people getting wrongfully convicted. She's putting in work in a different way. But nope, all they see is a person who stopped playing ball and put on weight...no context, no clue as to how much she's still outworking the average dude in everyday life.

[@DPumm360]

She still fine to me 💯🔥

[@mauricewilliams195]

Still gorgeous inside and out

[@jazzman688]

We're just not used to her this way in this light give us time no one in the spotlight is free from criticism.

[@ypmm53]

I didn’t know who she was until I watched the 30 for 30 Breakway. A must watch! Get your tissue. It has love, passion, sadness, will make you cry and bring joy to your heart. Anyone who is human, should love her once you know what has accomplished off the court. She is a greater champion off the court to me. May life or god always bless her beyond her wildest dreams till she dies. She is an amazing woman!!!

[@ralphgreen1183]

Awesome speech by a beautiful person inside and out. I wish you your husband Johnathan much success and continued growth!

Maya is a outstanding women and its all love for her and wat she hades done

[@a.2wavyholland503]

To walk away from being the best female basketball player to doing something so unselfish for an innocent man speaks volumes on who she is has a person. I jus got done watching her 30 for 30. Amazing woman!!!! I have to take my hat off to this woman. A tru queen

Thank You Maya Moore for Believing in Johnathan Irons. Greatest Love Story I've Ever Witnessed in My 47 years Living. 💪🏾🙏🏾🌹☀️👑

It’s clear people with these weight comments never had a girlfriend before🤦🏾‍♂️ weight gain on muscle will leave you looking like Maya. She was an athlete in great condition her whole life, if she wants to kick back and enjoy meals these days, why not 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@bryantbyrd2364]

She should be the face of the WNBA...A real woman....so beautiful,so classy ,so elegant, so intelligent.... She has the diplomacy of a presidential figure......Her values would be the values that God want us to have .. Prioritizing what's really important in life.... Basketball was a gift... Maya was one of the best to ever do it..... She might not come back to the game.,but if she does....I guarantee she would return to form.... ESPN should be running this over and over and over ,but what she represent ,they will just breeze through it.... Maya ,u are a true QUEEN...God bless u sister

[@CDZ67]

Wow amazing that their are so many comments concerning Maya's weight physically and not the weight of her powerful words. We as people are so superficial and don't focus on being better humans to each other. If she did not want to play basketball no more that is fine. She did everything to do there with the Lynx. If she does return she is 32 and can get back to game shape. You guys should see some NFL players after the off season and get back with me.

[@jerryharrigan4488]

Maya I was proud of you at the ESPY award ceremony your style attitude toward humanity was expressed elequently in such a graceful manner. I believe your decision on leaving the spotlight of professional women’s basketball has opened the door for you to proceed to your dreams of helping others. You are a role model for all women of all ages to follow their own lifestyle. I have been a long time supporter of your ever since your freshman year at UConn and you have given me countless hours of entertainment. I wish you all the happiness in your marriage and believe your success in your foundation will grow beyond your dreams. I thank you for my years o f entertainment and your gift to humanity
