ESPNW Taurasi Profile

Bit of a puff piece - her suspension is written off as "Dee being Dee" but thought y'all might enjoy.

You don't know Diana Taurasi

 

[Waquoit]

I don't think it was all that puffy. There's some depth there.

There is some news there too:

"Taurasi just signed what's essentially an until-retirement contract with the Mercury. She hopes to play through the 2020 Summer Games; it would be her fifth Olympics. She is under contract for one more season in Russia, with UMMC Ekaterinburg, and thinks that will conclude her overseas career."

very nice piece - and I agree not puffy.

They have a movie-quality love story.

Judging from the reaction here and elsewhere, it does seem that I'm mostly alone in thinking that way. Piece seems to be very well-received.

The GOAT!

Thanks, Orangutan. I really enjoyed the article and appreciate your posting it. It sounds like DT is a really nice place in her life.

It is not particularly news worthy, which is perhaps what you mean - but it is a pretty good picture of DT the person with adequate depth so not really 'puffy'.

Well you are probably the only orange over-grown monkey in our group ... so there's that....

Geno is right on target with this:
Auriemma, who is so much like Taurasi, told her he saw she had lost a crucial part of her on-court personality.

"I don't know how many times he's texted me, 'You have to have fun out there. You don't have fun playing basketball anymore,'" Taurasi said.
