This Maya Moore homage to Michael Jordan has been making waves in Minneapolis. Now you can get your own copy of the iconic poster.

Maya Moore has already secure her place among the greatest to ever play in the WNBA. With career averages of 18.4 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.7 steals per game, she has the numbers to go with her individual and team accolades — WNBA Rookie of the Year in 2011, MVP in 2014, five consecutive All-WNBA first team selections, five WNBA Finals appearances and four titles.

But it takes a little something extra to truly make yourself a legend. An iconic image to wrap your legacy around can help and Moore may have achieved basketball immortality this month with the release of her “Wings” billboard in Minneapolis. The image is an homage to a favorite Michael Jordan poster and the reaction to this temporary display was so strong that Jordan Brand is already working on arranging a permanent installment, according to The Star-Tribune.

If you want to secure your own copy of this poster, you better get yourself to the Lynx game against the Connecticut Sun on June 1.

Moore has had a relatively quiet start to her season, deferring to reigning MVP Sylvia Fowles as she has averaged just 11.5 points and 7.0 rebounds per game. Moore spent the WNBA offseason playing overseas, as many WNBA stars do, and rejoined the team just days before the season began. The Lynx have started the season 1-1, beating the Dallas Wings, but losing their opener to the Los Angeles Sparks.

The Lynx and Sparks have met in the last two WNBA Finals, with each team winning a title. Their rivalry is as strong as anything on any level of professional basketball and both teams are expected to compete for another championship this season.
