42 points tonight, turning the clock back. She was sensational tonight.

You can't spell GOAT without DT.

Diana Taurasi is an icon in the world of hoops, and the perennial All-Star known as the “White Mamba” added another milestone to her illustrious WNBA career on Thursday night - Diana Taurasi hits 10,000 points for another milestone in her standout career

 

[GoUconn7961]

She will always be my favorite player. So happy for her!

 

[Ouremblem]

Awesome!

 

[HuskyFan1125]

The absolute best part for me was it came off an assist from the all time assist leader at UCONN Moriah Jefferson. Husky greats hard at work!!

Not many WNBA players can score their age after they turn 30. Dee did, and she made it look easy. One of the best “catch and shoot” players in the league.

I knew it was her night when she hit that fall-a-way jumper from the corner........hitting nothing but the net. I thought OMG!! Last night was the first time she scored 40+ points since 2010.

 

[JellyBean]

Congrats, DT!! One of the All-Time Greats.

Per ESPN Stats & Information

• Taurasi finished with 42 points, her most in a game since 2010 and the most she has scored in regulation in her career.
• Her season high was also her first 40-point game since July 14, 2010.
• At age 41, she is the oldest player with a 40-point game in WNBA history.
• Taurasi had 32 points in the second half, the second most in any half in WNBA history

The White Mamba, who wears number three, passed 10,000 by hitting a three in the third quarter on the third day -- and did so at the 8:23 mark in the game on 8/2023.

Congratulations to DT for adding first to 10,000 points to her legacy as the one and only GOAT!!!

 

[EricLA]

What an incredible performance by the undisputed GOAT. And I loved all the tributes after the game. One of the best came from Carol Callan. But the list of who lined up to praise her was incredible.

My only nit - Dawn Staley made a comment, but nothing from Geno? Poor planning on the part of whoever organized it, and a real shame.

I’d bet he was the first person to call her after the game

Just looked at the highlights from this game on SportsCenter. Among the accolades, hugs, and high-fives Dee received after the record-making shot, she also received the ball. A nice move by the team. Needless to say, it will find its rightful place in her massive trophy case.

I know there are some doubters here, but as I’ve already said.....I think this record stands for a long time (forever). Every time she scores from now until she retires, she puts this record further and further out of reach. We saw history made last night.

If she comes back next year, she’ll put it so far out there that no one will get close to breaking it, no matter how many times they increase the number of games for a regular WNBA season.

Your assignment today if you choose to accept it, is to research the top 15 (best) players in the history of the league. Note how old they were when they retired, and note how many career points they finished with.

Any up-and-coming player that has aspirations about breaking this record, has got to catch and pass those top 15 first.

 

[Inthepaint]

Ho hum!
Was there ever any doubt?
Problem with DT’s level of play is that the superb has always been her standard.
Congrats to this one in a billion Amazon

 

[Performance]

Congratulations the the best player ever!!! We were blessed that she played for us for four years!!!

Maya & DT , that's the fight for the best WNBA player ever

GOAT is a term which is used a lot for different players. For me there is only one GOAT and it's DT!

I am pretty sure that performance by DT should put the naysayers out to pasture saying that DT should step aside to let others play on the Olympic team.

I believe DT will set the record for playing AND WINNING six Golds, and no more tie with Sue Bird...

To help with your research assignment: All Time Leaders

It would appear that Dewanna Bonner is the closest active player to DT at #8 with 6694, and Candice Parker is #9 with 6574. Not likely for either to catch DT.
