Former Lawrenceville Hoops Star Maya Moore Shows Her Age in Pepsi Ad

Former Collins Hill High star puts on a playground show as an elderly woman for just-released Pepsi Max commercial.

We’ve seen hoops extraordinaire Maya Moore do a whole lot of special things on the basketball court.

She’s won an Olympic gold medal and been dominant at every level, collecting multiple championships in high school, college and the pros, where she most recently won WNBA Finals MVP honors in leading the Minnesota Lynx to the title at the Gwinnett Arena.

But we haven’t seen the former Collins Hill High standout student-athlete like we’ve seen her this week. That is dressed up in full makeup as an elderly woman and putting on a playground court show.

Pepsi Max released the third installment of its ‘Uncle Drew’ commercials this week. Uncle Drew is Cleveland Cavaliers’ point guard Kyrie Irving dressed as a senior citizen and going to town on the hoops court.

In this latest offering, he brings along a couple of friends in Denver Nuggets’ point guard Nate Robinson as “Lights,” and Moore as “Betty Lou.” It's worth a peek.
