It was tonight, it was history, it was Diana Taurasi. Match once morest the Atlanta Dream, “simple” 3-point shot in catch-and-shootand the Phoenix guard crosses the bar never reached 10,000 points in the WNBA.
At a time when the NBA is whitewashing its campaign, the women’s league is in full swing. Diana Taurasi, legendary player of the Phoenix Mercury – and incidentally 1st choice of the 2004 WNBA Draft – has just passed the bar of 10,000 career points. A level that she is the first to cross! Taurasi needed 18 points to reach 10,000 units: last night, she made an XXL copy with… 42 points. The Atlanta Dream ate a bear. Art and manner, that’s it. The other player closest to 10,000 points? Tina Thompson, retired in 2013 and “only” at 7,488 points on the clock. Suffice to say that Diana Taurasi – thus top All-Time scorer – is not close to the handover. Arriving in the WNBA at 22, she now wears her 41 spring. Retirement ? Not now. Despite the catastrophic season of the Phoenix Mercury – which will not play in the Playoffs – Brittney Griner’s teammate still does not plan to hang up the sneakers. And for good reason: she is still 18th best scorer in the WNBA, with 17.4 points per game. Well on its way to smashing the 10,000 unit mark, therefore.
