OT: Diana Taurasi breaks record for career 3-pointers

[CL82]

@Carnac on the WBB noted that Diana Taurasi just set the WNBA career 3 point record.

So Taurasi is the Ray Allen of the WNBA? That's pretty darn cool and confirms Storrs as the Mecca of college basketball.

A 13-year veteran, Taurasi is also closing in on being the WNBA's all-time leading scorer. She passed Tamika Catchings for second place and is now only 90 points behind No. 1 Tina Thompson.

Taurasi has played on three WNBA championship teams and captured four Olympic gold medals. She is the first player in league history with 7,000 career points, 1,500 career assists and 1,500 career rebounds.

..and 3 NCAA championships IIRC.

GOAT

Absolutely. There's no doubt in my mind that she's the greatest of all time...

 

[blackbird]

She's very likely to break the WNBA scoring record this season as well. She tied Catchings for #2 last game.

 

[JellyBean]

Congrats, Diana.

 

[Chief00]

Can we move this to the Women's Board or Cess Pool. Thank You, Chief00

I love Diana. I think she prob is the GOAT but she's a different player ... She doesn't always take over like she can or could.

But I love her and her game. Always have.

Why can't the men play more like the women? Maybe Gino and Diana can come teach the boys a few lessons! @Deepster

 

[sportsart]

Three point record and has a hot wife. Congrats to Diana.

 

[methodology]

Didn't she take a few years off from the wnba because her Russian team was paying her more $$$ to not play?

I am dumbfounded that the WNBA still exists.

 

[August_West]

She's a dirty player

 

[EastConn'er]

I am dumbfounded that the WNBA still exists.

Good grief.... She's one of the best women's basketball players of all time, 3 NCAA National Championships, 4 Olympic Gold Medals, 3 WNBA Championships. AND she went to UConn. Give the woman some credit, she's one of us. She'd beat your on the court... What are your credentials?

She's gotten older. Can't forget she's 35 or 36 now. More of a jump shooter. It's Griner's turn to take over.

She's older then she used to be.

Which usually beats the alternative.
