Diana Taurasi is an icon in the world of hoops, and the perennial All-Star known as the “White Mamba” added another milestone to her illustrious WNBA career on Thursday night. The 41-year-old became the first player in WNBA history to score 10,000 points, hitting the mark with a long 3-pointer during the third quarter of a game against the Atlanta Dream.
She had season-high 42 points in Phoenix's 91-71 victory to push her total to 10,024. Like most of the greats in any sport, Taurasi has said she has always cared more about winning than milestones and records.
