Maya Moore net worth: How much is the 4-time WNBA chamionp worth in 2020?

Two years' worth of effort from four-time WNBA champion Maya Moore eventually played a pivotal role in the release of Jonathan Irons this week. Irons was sentenced to 50 years in prison after he was found guilty of burglary and shooting with a deadly weapon in 1998. For more than 20 years Irons insisted he was misidentified and was not guilty of the crime, but his cries fell on deaf ears.

Finally, in 2016, Maya Moore publicly opened up on her friendship with Irons and began advocating for reform in the American justice system. Moore took a hiatus from basketball in 2019 in order to solely focus on getting Jonathan Irons released from prison for a crime he did not commit. Earlier this year, Moore's efforts paid off as Jefferson City Judge Daniel Green vacated Irons' guilty verdict and ordered the release of the African-American, who was just another victim of racial injustice in the United States.
