Professional career

Maya Moore's professional career, as well as her high school and college careers, has been brimming with awards. She appeared in three WNBA finals, one Eurobasket final, and two WCBA finals, winning five of the six potential titles she could have in her first three years. Along the way, she has firmly established herself as one of the best professional women's players in the game. In 2015, she received the WNBA All-Star MVP award. This makes her one of only two players in the WNBA regular season, the WNBA finals, and the All-Star game.

Moore was ranked 1st overall in the 2011 WNBA draft by the Minnesota Lynx. Lindsay Whalen, Rebekkah Brunson, and Seimone Augustus were among the team's most valuable players, as well as the best WNBA record. Moore was named WNBA Rookie of the Month for July and August, and he appeared in the WNBA All-Star Game. Despite admitting to struggling to adapt to the incredible range of talent in the WNBA, Moore's performance earned her Rookie of the Year Award.

Moore was her team's second-leading scorer in the playoffs. She led her team in scoring once more in their final game of the Western Conference finals, when she poured in 21 points, including six three-pointers. Maya was the second player in league history to win Rookie of the Year awards and a WNBA championship in the same year in October 2011.

Moore helped the Lynx get off to a 10–0 start in 2012, the best start in WNBA history. For their second year in a row, the Lynx defeated 2011's 27-7 record, finishing as the top seed in the WNBA Playoffs. For the second straight season, the Lynx qualified to the 2012 WNBA Finals, but the Indiana Fever defeated the Lynx.

They were in Phoenix for the 3rd and final game and lost 96-78, losing to advance to the WNBA Finals for the first time in four seasons.

Moore re-signed with the Lynx in a multi-year contract before her rookie contract came to an end. Moore was named to the 2015 WNBA All-Star Game for the first time in his career, scoring a WNBA All-Star Game record of 30 points. The Lynx had traded for Sylvia Fowles to expand the Lynx's roster at the center position midway through the season. The Lynx were first in the Western Conference, advanced all the way to the finals, and lifted the Indiana Fever in three games to two for their third WNBA championship in five years. Moore had one of the finals' most memorable games of the season in Game 3, where Moore scored a game-winning three-pointer at the buzzer. In 2015, she was also selected to the All-WNBA First Team.

Moore was selected to the WNBA Top 20@20, a list of the league's top 20 players ever in honor of the WNBA's twentieth anniversary. She was the youngest of the 20 participants. Moore averaged 19.3 points per game during the 2016 season, and the Lynx remained a strong, championship contending team, finishing with a new franchise record of 28–6. With the WNBA's new playoff system in place, the Lynx were the number one seed in the league with a double-bye to the semi-finals (the last round before the WNBA Finals). For the fifth time in six years, the Lynx defeated the Mercury in a 3-game sweep, advancing to the WNBA Finals. Due to the new playoff system, the Lynx were up against the Los Angeles Sparks for the second time in league history. Moore defeated Diana Taurasi for the most points scored in WNBA Finals history (262). Moore took over in Game 4, despite facing a 2–1 deficit and leading the Lynx to an 85–79 victory and prompting a Game 5. As the Sparks became 2016 WNBA Champions, the Lynx would lose Game 577-76 after a game-winning shot by Nneka Ogwumike.

Moore was elected into the 2017 WNBA All-Star Game for her fifth appearance in the series. Moore earned her second All-Star MVP award after leading a team-high 23 points for the Western Conference All-Stars team in a 130–121 victory. Moore will be the second highest scoring player on the team with 17.3 ppg, with Fowles being the more prominent point of the team's offense. The Lynx won by 111–52 on August 12, 2017, the most close margin of victory in WNBA history, but they also exploded on a league record 40–0 scoring run during the game. The Lynx advanced to the semi-finals after being ranked as the top seed in the league with a 27–7 record. The Lynx defeated the Washington Mystics in a 3-game sweep, advancing to the WNBA Finals for the sixth time in seven years, setting up a rematch with the Sparks. The Lynx will revenge the previous season's humiliation by defeating the sparks in five games to win their fourth WNBA championship in seven years, tying the now-defunct Houston Comets for most championship titles.

Moore won by 80-75 over the Mercury on July 22, 2018, scoring a season-high 38 points. Moore was nominated for her third All-Star Game in the 2018 season and will win her third All-Star award after leading Team Parker to a 119–112 victory with 18 points. As the Lynx finished with number 7 seed and an 18-16 record, Moore led the team in scoring with 18 ppg. This was the first time in 8 years that the Lynx did not finish as a top-two seed in the league. In the first round elimination game, they will face the Los Angeles Sparks, who lost 768–68, snaping their streak of three consecutive appearances.

Moore wrote for The Players' Tribune in February that she would forego the upcoming season to concentrate on family and ministry aspirations. In January 2020, she announced that she would not return to the upcoming WNBA season as well as the 2020 Olympic games in order to remain vigilant on criminal justice reform.

Overseas career

Moore spent time with Ros Casares Valencia in Spain, from 2011 to 2012. She joined the team late due to her Lynx championship run.

Moore averaged 12.7 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 2.6 assists in ten EuroLeague Women games, assisting Ros Casares in their first ever EuroLeague championship on April 1, 2012.

Ros Casares captured the Spanish domestic league (Liga Femenina de Baloncesto) championship three weeks later, with Moore scoring a team-high 20 points in the April 24 final. Perfumer Avenida's victory over Perfumer Avenida repaid the March defeat in the Copa de la Reina (Queen's Cup) final, where Moore scored a game-high 24 points.

Moore joined the Shanxi Flame in 2012, under Spanish coach Lucas Mondelo. It was the club's first year in the Women's Chinese Basketball Association, and they started the season 0–2 with American import Ebony Hoffman. The team won 10 in a row as soon as Moore arrived and replaced Hoffman (since the league only tolerates 1 non-Asian player per team). She had 60 points, 13 rebounds, 6 blocks, and 5 steals against Yunnan in her third game. Moore had a 37.3 points, 12.1 rebounds, 4.3 assists, and 3.5 steals per game in Shanxi's first season, leading the Flames to the championship in a 3–1 series over Zhejiang.

In Moore's second year with Shanxi, she led her team to the finals, scoring 43.3 points per game. Moore's fifth professional title in three years. She averaged 39.3 points, 11.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists, and 4.3 steals per game on the season.

Shanxi won their third straight title in 2014-2015, beating Brittney Griner-led Beijing 3-1 in the finals after dropping the first game. Although recovering from a knee injury, she averaged 30.0 points, 9.2 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and 3.6 steals per game for the season.

Despite the language barrier, Moore is well-known in Shanxi, not simply for her on-court heaviness, but also for her humility and friendly interactions with fans, who have dubbed her the "Invincible Queen" (). She was named "Honor Citizen of Taiyuan" by Taiyuan's municipal government for her service to the area.

Maya Moore, a member of Russian basketball club UMMC Ekaterinburg, was signed to the team for the remainder of the 2017/2018 EuroLeague season, according to the Russian basketball team. Moore will continue to average 20.6 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 5.2 assists with UMMC. Each of the final six games of the regular season will be decided by the UMMC. UMMC defeated the EuroLeague Championship on April 22, with Moore scoring 17 points, dishing out 7 assists, and recording four steals in the final game.

National team career

Moore was invited to the USA Basketball Women's National Team training camp in the fall of 2009, being one of only three college players and the only junior to be admitted to the training camp. The team that was selected to compete in the 2010 FIBA World Championship and the 2012 Olympics was selected from these individuals. The team then travelled to Ekaterinburg, Russia, where they competed in the 2009 UMMC Ekaterinburg International Invitational.

Moore was one of twenty players named to the national team pool. Twelve members of this group were chosen to represent the United States in the 2010 World Championships and the 2012 Olympics.

The USA National Team began training in April 2010 to prepare for the FIBA World Championship, which will be announced in September 2010. Moore was one of the participants selected for the training sessions led by national team coach Geno Auriemma. The teams played informal scrimmages, with one team made up of the players selected to be on the national team and the other team made up of invited all-star college players named as the select team. Despite being a student at the University of Oxford, Moore was accepted to serve on the national team. Moore competed with the national team in the first two ten-minute games and helped them win by two points. Then Moore wore different jerseys and competed for the select team. The select team prevailed in both games, with Moore assisting the team in bringing the team up, then stealing the ball and making the game winning shot in the final seconds. Moore in all four games finished on the winning team.

Moore was chosen as one of the national team members to represent the USA Basketball team in the WNBA's WNBA versus USA Basketball tournament. As part of the preparations for the FIBA World Championship for Women, which will be held in the Czech Republic between September and October 2010, this game replaced the WNBA All-Stars match against USA Basketball. Moore was selected to be a member of the National Team representing the United States at the World Championship. Geno Auriemma coached the team. Because so many of the team members were still playing in the WNBA until just before the game, the entire squad had only one day of training with the entire team before heading to Ostrava and Karlovy Vary. Despite limited training, the team won its first game against Greece by 26 points. With victory margins over 20 points in the first five games, the team continued to dominate. Several players shared scoring awards, with Swin Cash, Angel McCoughtry, Moore, Diana Taurasi, Lindsay Whalen, and Sylvia Fowles all ending as top scorer in the first few games. The sixth game was against undefeated Australia — the US took the lead and then lost 83–75. Team USA won by over 30 points in its next two games and met the Czech Republic in the championship game. At halftime, the US team had only a five-point lead, which was then reduced to three points, but the Czechs never came closer. Team USA went on to win the championship and gold medal. Moore's average was 8.7 points per game.

Moore was one of 21 finalists for the 2012 U.S. Women's Olympic Basketball Team Roster. The USA Basketball Women's National Team Player Selection Committee selected the 20 WNBA players, as well as one collegiate athlete (Brittney Griner), to compete for the final roster to represent the United States in London at the 2012 Summer Olympics. Moore earned a gold medal with Team USA in 2012, joining Sheryl Swoope, Cynthia Cooper-Dyke, Tamika Catchings, Tamika Catchings, and Diana Taurasi among the elite group of female basketball players to have earned NCAA championships, WNBA Championships, and Olympic gold medalists.

Moore was one of 33 finalists for the U.S. Women's FIBA World Championship roster. The 32 WNBA players, as well as one collegiate player (Breanna Stewart), were selected by the USA Basketball Women's National Team Player Selection Committee to represent the United States on the final roster for the FIBA World Championship for Women in Turkey during September and October 2014. Moore made the final roster of 12 players on September 23, 2014. Moore won the gold medal with the team in 2014 and has now earned three gold medals with the US team. She was selected to the all-tournament squad and received the tournament MVP award.

Moore was named in USA Basketball's squad for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, which would be her second Olympic tournament. Moore won her second gold medal, helping the United States beat Spain 101–72 in the final.

She is focusing on the WNBA this summer and in the fall when DWTS comes back, Caitlin is going to dive into some other opportunities and chase those goals instead.'

Celebrities like Travis Scott, Maya Moore, and Jake From State Farm all turned out to support the Iowa sensation in Caitlin Clark's record-breaking win over Ohio State. Clark's game against Ohio State on Sunday was the last regular season home game of her Hawkeye career, as well as the moment she set the NCAA all-time scoring record. Clark dominated Pete Maravich's record of 54 years, despite the fact that he was 54 years old. For LSU, Maravich scored 3,667 points. Clark scored 35 points in the victory over the Buckeyes, but only needed 18 to pass 'The Pistol'.
