For more than a half-decade, Diana Taurasi has been the WNBA's all-time leading scorer. Now, the Phoenix Mercury guard has pushed the mark to a milestone number.
episode on July 28, Taurasi was asked if she had special moments in her career she felt"just hit you different."
In her 18 full seasons, she’s won three WNBA championships, was named 2004 Rookie of the Year and 2009 league MVP and earned 10 All-Star honors in a time before All-Star Games were held during Olympic years. She’s a 14-time All-WNBA honoree, including her first eight seasons, and all but four are first-team accolades. The years she wasn’t named to the team were when she missed most of the season due to injury , in 2015 when she sat out the WNBA season and in 2021-22.
The top two single-season point total records belong to Taurasi, who scored 860 points in 2006 and 820 in 2008. Maya Moore scored 812 in 2014 and is the only other player to score at least 800 in a season. The WNBA schedule has since expanded to 36 games. Taurasi is also 18th and 22nd on the list of the top-25 scorers.
The third title came in 2014 and Taurasi was again named FInals MVP in the series win against the Chicago Sky.
