It is difficult to imagine that Diana Taurasi has a 20 -year WNBA record with the team before retiring on February 25, and Phoenix Mercury wears another WNBA uniform.
But on Thursday, another WNBA Great King Sue Bird argued for more “Touch” podcasts that Phoenix’s Tau Lashi era could end faster in short plans to join New York’s power.
Taurasi’s best friend Bird explained to his wife, Megan Rapinoe, co-hosted by his wife, USWNT football legend and podcast co-hosted. While he was a team member in the WNBA offseason in Russia, Taura City, and Bird, he contacted his agents to leave the team’s Phoenix and Seattle storms for New York.
“We’ll say that it is an average of 4 to 5 hours for those who have heard about dinner in Russia,” Bud said. “I have nothing to do with us, and tonight, probably in the 2012-13 range, ‘What are we doing? Why are we not playing together in WNBA? This is stupid.
“And we like, how do you see it? ‘ And we knew it would be New York.
Bird confirmed what we already knew. The two adhered to the team.
“Alcohol was flowing, and I won’t lie.” Bird said that night. “Listen, we had a grand plan and the next day, ‘Well, I don’t leave Seattle.” She said, ‘Well, I will not leave Phoenix.’
Taurasi’s fellow Future of Famer Bird led the team to four titles in Seattle from 2002 to 2022. She opened the longest career record of the WNBA’s long career for 19 years from knee surgery for 19 years. Taurasi won three WNBA titles with Phoenix.
The international praise between Taurasi and Bird is incomparable. They led the American Women’s Basketball Team into five gold medals from 2004 to 2021. Taurasi led Bird’s all -American basketball record, which ranked sixth in the 2024 Paris Olympics.
BIRD led the UMMC ekaterinburg to win three consecutive Russian League Championships.
The initial career of Bird and Taurasi began as a backcourt colleague in Uconn in 2000-02. They led HUSKIES to the 2002 title, the last undefeated team of College Basketball History (39-0).
Bird is originally from New York and Taurasi is from the southern California city of China. So in 1997, they are reasonable to continue their team’s relationships to win the title in the league’s largest market, one of the three original franchises of WNBA, in addition to Los Angeles Spark and Phoenix. New York earned its first title last season.
Since the last regular season home game of Taurasi with Seattle on September 19, she explained how her late friend, Kobe Bryant, stayed with La Lakers for 20 years and set up “Bar.” She acknowledged that the term of his term did not have difficulties in the Phoenix.

Taurasi said, “Perhaps many people who have played a team for a long time for a team are choosing by hand,” Taurasi said. “And it is not easy to stay in one place for 20 years. It is a long relationship between ups and downs, and I do not like this and I do not like it.
“But at the end of the day, this franchise through my ups and downs and my down always came back to a better player, a better team member, and I was really lucky in that sense.”
“Kobe set up a bar. … And it’s not easy to stay in one place for 20 years. ”

He ranked first in Bird’s 8th place in the list of Taurasi’s league, the 8th place in Bird, and the assist. They were WNBA’s face and could change the league’s landscape on the same team, but not.
Fortunately, Taurasi led the idea to the last title in 2014 for mercury.
