Even in retirement, Seimone Augustus still gets emotional when talking about the Minnesota Lynx.
Augustus spent 14 years with the organization, one that drafted her No. 1 overall out of LSU in the 2006 WNBA Draft. During her time in Minnesota, she earned seven WNBA All-Star selections, became the franchise’s all-time leader in points scored and minutes placed, won three Olympic Gold Medals, four WNBA titles and was named 2006 Rookie of the Year and 2011 Finals MVP, to name just a few accolades.
But Augustus’ time in Minnesota — a place that has become her second home — didn’t end as she pictured it would while she was still wearing a Lynx uniform.
