Diana Taurasi is a name that is well known in the world of basketball. She is a three-time WNBA champion, four-time Olympic gold medalist, and nine-time WNBA All-Star. Now, she is on the brink of another milestone in her illustrious career – 10,000 career points in the WNBA.
Taurasi has been playing in the WNBA since 2004, and has been one of the most dominant players in the league since then.

She has also been named to the All-WNBA First Team eight times, and the All-WNBA Second Team once.
Taurasi is currently just 41 points away from reaching the 10,000 point mark. If she reaches this milestone, she will become only the fourth player in WNBA history to do so, joining Tina Thompson, Lisa Leslie, and Tamika Catchings. She will also become the fastest player to reach 10,000 points, doing so in just 431 games.
Taurasi’s accomplishments are even more impressive when you consider that she missed the entire 2015 season due to a back injury. Despite this setback, she has still managed to remain one of the best players in the league.
It is clear that Diana Taurasi is one of the greatest players in WNBA history. Her ability to score at a high level, combined with her leadership and winning attitude, have made her one of the most respected players in the league.
