Diana Taurasi, a legendary figure in women's basketball, has announced her retirement after 20 remarkable seasons in the WNBA. The 42-year-old concludes her career as the all-time leading scorer in league history with 10,646 points. Recognized for her exceptional skills, she was a five-time scoring champion, a 14-time All-WNBA selection, and won three WNBA championships with the Phoenix Mercury. Taurasi's impact extended beyond personal accolades; she was revered as a team player who fostered camaraderie and connection among her teammates, as noted by fellow players and coaches.
"I've always tried to be on everyone's side, and tried to champion everyone on the team. If they're in your circle, you take care of them."
"She has a way of making people feel connected to her, but also like the best version of themselves."
"She knows when she needs to take over; she has a sixth sense in dealing with teammates."
Taurasi became the first basketball player to win six Olympic gold medals.
