Landing gold in Rio !
Women's basketball Olympic veteran Maya Moore is returning to the Rio Olympics for her second gold medal, first being in London Olympics 2012 and the forward thinks her all-star squad has a good shot of obtaining it and establishing the world dominance again.
"The core [players] have been pretty solid for the past 5 years," Moore, Veteran Minnesota Lynx WNBA player, told PEOPLE before her Olympic team headed to Rio de Janiero.
"But USA basketball is fun, it's easy. It's the best of the best, the people you respect on the court."

Let's have a look at some of the tweets from the public regarding Maya Moore gameplay:
Nasty Women? Really?
Veteran Maya Moore continued to show her passion for the game into the do-or-die Game 5 Minnesota Lynx-Los Angeles Sparks matchup and that too coming off a 31-point Game 4 performance.
Although Sparks had a slight edge in the match, thanks to Candace Parker who scored 28 points and led Sparks to dethrone the champion Lynx. But, before a commercial break, ESPN2 then telecasted highlights of Moore, and as they rolled the footage, one of the announcers, Rebecca Lobo, insulted Moore by calling her "such a nasty woman."
Although it is not clear, what might be the meaning of the word nasty? It must have felt bad !
Well, I would like to wish Maya an excellent future. Hope her career reaches a great height, and she establishes herself as a basketball legend.
All the best Maya. The fan base is always with you, cheering and rooting for you.
GOOD LUCK and ALL THE VERY BEST, MAYA MOORE!
