The Mercury hasn’t had the best season so far as they have the second-worst record in the WNBA at 6-19. But that’s not to take away from what could be a special night for the legend and I would assume her teammates are going to do everything possible to feed her the basketball.
Taurasi was asked a question about what 10,000 points would mean to her and the game of basketball and her answer best exemplified his humility through it all.
