LSU Tigers Last-Tear Poa is showing love to coach Kim Mulkey's assistant coach Seimone Augustus for being elected into the Naismith Hall of Fame Class of 2024. On Saturday, ESPNW on Instagram shared snaps of Seimone Augustus honored by the Minnesota Lynx, a WNBA team with a net worth of $230 million (per Forbes).

Augustus had a stellar professional career for the Lynx from 2006 to 2019. The 41-year-old won four WNBA championships, one Finals MVP award and eight All-Star selections, among other accolades. The franchise honored her by placing her name in Target Center's rafters, as well as giving her a pair of custom Nike Air Force Ones.

Poa, who was under the tutelage of Mulkey and Augustus last season, reposted the post on Instagram story and reacted.

"Proud of you coach!," Poa wrote with a goat emoji.
