Former WNBA players Moore and Fowles, alongside ex-Lynx player Whalen and Augustus, are set to be inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame.

Minnesota Lynx's Hall of Fame Quartet: A Legacy of Success

The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame is set to welcome a remarkable quartet from the Minnesota Lynx, marking a historic first for the WNBA. Maya Moore, Sylvia Fowles, Sue Bird, and Lindsay Whalen, all cornerstones of the Lynx's championship runs, will be inducted into the Hall of Fame as part of the 2025 class.

This unprecedented achievement sees four players from the same WNBA team being inducted into the Hall, a testament to the Lynx's dominance and the enduring impact of their players. The Lynx have won four titles in a span of seven years, with Maya Moore being drafted with the first pick in 2011 and helping to set the tone for the team's success.

Sylvia Fowles, who retired in 2022 as the WNBA's career rebound leader, has been a pivotal figure in the Lynx's success. She was traded to the team in a mid-season 2015 trade and went on to earn MVP honors in the Finals in 2015 and 2017. Fowles is also proud of the current team for continuing "the Lynx way" started by Moore, Whalen, and Augustus.

Maya Moore, who won Finals MVP honors in 2013 when the Lynx won their second championship, is being inducted alongside Fowles. Moore's contributions to the team extend beyond her on-court prowess, as she has helped shape the team's core values and traditions.

Lindsay Whalen, who was previously inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2022, continues to play a significant role with the Lynx, now as an assistant coach. Seimone Augustus, who was inducted in 2024, has also been instrumental in the team's success.

Cheryl Reeve, the coach of the Minnesota Lynx, has long advocated for better collaboration between the WNBA and the Hall of Fame, allowing teams to attend the ceremony and celebrate former players. With four members of the team's dynasty period being inducted, this year's ceremony promises to be a special one.

The current Lynx team, which boasts the best record in the league and homecourt advantage throughout the playoffs, is a testament to the legacy left by Moore, Fowles, Whalen, and Augustus. As they continue to strive for success, they carry on the tradition of excellence established by their legendary predecessors.
