Basketball-WNBA all-time leading scorer, six-time Olympic champion Taurasi retires
NEW YORK, Feb 25 (Reuters) - Six-time Olympic champion Diana Taurasi announced her retirement from the WNBA on Tuesday, closing the book on one of the most decorated careers in all of basketball.
The league's 42-year-old all-time leading scorer brought home three championships in her 20 years with the Phoenix Mercury, who drafted her first overall after she led the UConn to three collegiate titles.
"Thank you Diana for changing the game forever, all of the accolades could never amount to the type of person and edge you embodied when you stepped out there on the court," the WNBA said in a post on social media, calling her "one-of-one."
In an interview with Time magazine, Taurasi said she "just didn't have it in me," ending long-standing speculation over when she would call time on her career.
