Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James is considered by many to be the greatest basketball player in the history of the game, and as his career comes to a close, it’s important for people to appreciate him while he’s still playing. However, on the women’s basketball side, the same thought process could be for Diana Taurasi. Like LeBron, Taurasi is considered by many to be the greatest woman to ever play the game and many showed their appreciation as her playing career began to wind down. And that end has officially come for Taurasi as she officially announced her retirement from the game of basketball. The announcement came during an exclusive interview with Time Magazine’s Sean Gregory, which featured commentary from many other basketball legends, including LeBron. The Lakers star said it has been an honor to watch Taurasi transcend the women’s game throughout her 21-year professional career.

Greatness recognizes greatness and James and many other great basketball players recognize how great Taurasi is and her resume speaks for itself. Taurasi is a three-time WNBA Champion, three-time National Champion at UConn, six-time EuroLeague Champion and six-time Olympic Gold Medalist. She is the all-time leading scorer in WNBA history and made 3-pointers while ranking fourth all-time in assists. Like James, Taurasi’s resume is simply second to none and her impact on the game of basketball is immeasurable. With LeBron’s career coming to an end, although he remains a force for the Lakers, he will certainly be loved a lot when he officially retires. But for now, the spotlight is on Taurasi as it should be on one of basketball’s true GOATs.
