Phoenix's Scoring Legend

Diana Taurasi led UConn to three straight NCAA titles before the Phoenix Mercury picked her first overall in 2004. She spent her entire WNBA career with Phoenix, winning titles in 2007, 2009 and 2014 and Finals MVP in 2009 and 2014.

Known for fearless scoring and deep threes, Taurasi became the WNBA's all-time leading scorer and, in 2023, the first player to reach 10,000 career points. Kobe Bryant nicknamed her the White Mamba as a nod to his own Black Mamba nickname.

Taurasi won six Olympic gold medals with Team USA, from 2004 to 2024, a record for basketball. She announced her retirement in 2025 after 20 seasons, leaving as one of the greatest players in the sport's history.
