The all-time great had a major announcement ahead of the Paris Olympics.
Phoenix Mercury star Diana Taurasi broke some major news ahead of the United States women’s Olympic basketball team’s opener in the 2024 Paris Games.
“It’s definitely it for USA Basketball,” Taurasi said. “I’m 42. Six Olympics. It’s just been such an honor to put that jersey on every single time.”"I’m 42. Six Olympics. It’s just been such an honor to put that jersey on every single time." 🏅Taurasi, 42, was selected to her record sixth Olympic squad earlier this summer and will be looking to become the first men’s or women’s basketball player to win six gold medals. The Mercury All-Star guard averaged 10.9 points, 3.
Team USA has never lost an Olympic game in which Taurasi was playing, though that win streak goes all the way back to the 1992 Barcelona Games, 12 years before Taurasi’s Olympic debut.
