The 42-year-old is one of the top basketball players in history, and the accolades on her resume can surely make any player feel full. 

Since she was taken with the first overall pick out of UConn in the 2004 WNBA Draft, Taurasi has won three WNBA titles, was named the 2009 league MVP, won two Finals MVPs, registered five scoring titles, was named the 2004 Rookie of the Year and made 14 All-WNBA teams along with 11 All-Star teams.

In addition to being the league’s all-time leading scorer, Taurasi has made more 3-pointers than any player in history. 

Taurasi’s star status began at the beginning of the new century, when she joined UConn and became a three-time national champion with the Huskies, being named the AP Player of the Year during the 2002-03 season after averaging 17.9 points, 4.4 assists and 6.1 rebounds per game on the way to her second of three titles.
