On Monday night, in downtown Manhattan, in front of a theater of about 100 people, Diana Taurasi answered the question on everybody’s mind: What now? What does the greatest women’s basketball player of all time do in retirement? The Italian American UConn women’s basketball legend answered in the most Taurasi way, simple and straight to the point. “Nothing,” Taurasi said, grinning.
Taurasi did just about everything in her 20-plus-year basketball career. From three national championships with the Huskies to dominating the WNBA and Olympic stage to even becoming one of the most successful international players: Taurasi’s journey is second to none.
