Diana Taurasi Biography

WNBA star Diana Taurasi is widely considered to be the best all-around women’s basketball player in the history of the game.  A native of Chino, California, Taurasi fell in love with the game of basketball and that love blossomed into a promising career as she entered college at the University of Connecticut.  During her days at UConn she led the Huskies to three NCAA National Championships from 2002 to 2004 in route to winning two national player of the year awards and earning Big East Player of the Year honors twice.  After her senior year she was selected No. 1 overall in the 2004 WNBA Draft by the Phoenix Mercury and has since enjoyed the same team success she had at the college level, leading the Mercury to three WNBA Championships in 2007, 2009 and 2014.  Her first year in the league surprised no one, as she earned WNBA Rookie of the Year honors.  Her individual success in the league has not surprised anyone either, as she has earned All-WNBA First Team honors nine times, led the league in scoring five times, and been named the WNBA MVP in 2009.  Perhaps he most historic achievement however is the three Olympic Gold Medals she has earned representing the United States at the 2004, 2008 and 2012 Olympic Games.
