"I am excited that it is Diana and it is my absolute pleasure to pass the torch on to her. She and I have shared so many amazing moments throughout our basketball careers, whether it was gold medals, championships or all-star games. Diana is one of the best players to ever play the game and definitely one of my favorites. She has done amazing things and I am so grateful that I’ve been able to share many of those with her. I am really excited for Diana and I think she is going to blow that record out of the water.” If points in the regular season and playoffs are combined, Tamika Catchings is still the record holder with 8,521 points while Taurasi is at 8,489. When you qualify to be on [B]two[/B] Mt. Rushmores, you know you've really achieved greatness. D is firmly planted on UConn's Mt. Rushmore, and now she has cemented a spot on the WNBA's Mt. Rushmore of all time league greats as well. The cherry on top of her extraordinary playing career would be the 4 Olympic Gold Medals she has. We may not see another player as dominant (and consistent) as D in our lifetimes. :cool: [/QUOTE]
