Opinion: Diana Taurasi is Phoenix's greatest athlete. Don't let her go quietly [View all]
Greatest athlete in Phoenix history?
Charles Barkley. Larry Fitzgerald. Michael Carbajal. Shane Doan. Randy Johnson. Curt Schilling. Luis Gonzalez. Connie Hawkins. Kurt Warner. Steve Nash. Aeneas Williams. Dick Van Arsdale. Walter Davis. Pat Tillman. … Devin Booker?
All those guys have a strong case, but there’s only one answer: It’s Diana Taurasi, and it’s too bad that it looks like she’s left us without a proper goodbye.
“If it is the last time, it felt like the first time,” she said in September after the last game of the Phoenix Mercury season.
Taurasi is the WNBA’s all-time leading scorer, 14 times All-WNBA, 11 times an All-Star, three times a league champion, twice a Finals MVP, once a regular season MVP. She has so many gold medals (six) that she probably uses them for coasters during dinner parties.
