@1991Eljay there's a major difference between being "able" to do something and actually doing it well. Taurasi is a spectacular shooter and scorer with very good defense. Parker "can" play the point or as a guard, but she would fair horribly against world class guards like Taurasi or Pondexter in the WNBA. Parker is good, but she lacks toughness. More importantly, she lacks WNBA championships, even though her teams have been stacked. Taurasi has done far more with far little. End of discussion.

I knew she was the best I had ever seen play when she was in College,and yo I saw Nancy Lieberman, Lynette Woodard,The McGee twins,Cheryl Miller,Cheryl Swoopes,Lisa Leslie, Cynthia Cooper,Teresa Edwards,Katie Smith, Chamique Holdsclaw,Tamika Catchings all the early 00s and current women but this broad seemed like she got better every tine she played and this thing came natural to her,more natural then some Men I've seen...
Yeah, she's absolutely the best. She's got excellent technique, she's got mental and physical strength, she's always motivated, always fighting to win,m she has them all! I truly admire her !!!
Remarkable! Those passes! That range! She's my new fave. Two things stood out for me:
1. Most of her FGs were made during motion (fadeaways, leaners, floaters, etc)... from ANY RANGE! That's incredibly difficult-- for anyone.
2. Her release is not at the peak of her jump, but slightly before. It's quick, smooth and it could catch a defender by surprise. If her opponent doesn't pay close enough attention, they will always be late to the block.
@bullyoz1973 She originally tested positive for modafinil, which was essentially a stimulant. But the lab admitted a mistake and it came up with a false positive. She never took anything.
Awesome video!!! I defy you to find highlights of an NBA player that are much better than these. She's unbelievable. My favorite WNBA player by far. I think her passes are more impressive than her shots. I think Maya has the potential to be close to this good. But she's not as good a ball handler or passer as Dee.
Great mix. She just plays at a different level than anyone else. Now that her contract is terminated, I think she should give a men's league a shot. She won at every other level already.
FAN FOR LIFE! I was there at the Tulsa game when she made eight three point baskets. Thanks for this post. I love Taurasi! She is the best WNBA player!!
wtf does she jus stand anywhere and shoot the flipping ball, i mean she dont even have to try...wtf man, i wish i had a bit more skill like that, yu kn wot i wudnt call it skill i'll call it talent man, not many people can play ball like that, female wise that i've come across. may be me atleast, i wish....:)
@xJewlz08x While I am a huge fan of Maya, the play that Diana made at 2:20 was simply clutch and certainly did not have ill intent. She blocked Douglas' shot and was falling out of bounds so she threw the ball off of her leg to gain possession. It was in an ELIMINATION GAME of the WNBA FINALS in the 4th quarter, so the Mercury absolutely had to win that game and did. Throwing the ball off a player while falling out of bounds is a common play in bball and Diana was just trying to win the game.
While I generally do not enjoy watching WNBA basketball (although I appreciate the fundamentally sound play all around), DT and a few other players are very fun to watch. Taurasi is not only very fundamnetally sound and has all of the skills you want in a perimeter player, she is just fun to see play.
There is so much hoopla about the few dunks in the WNBA when the focus should be more on the much more abundant displays of very fluid and dynamic perimeter and midrange play.
Awesome highlights! If I'm not mistaken, you even have new coverage from her new team in Turkey, right?! Phenomenal job on this! She is the best and not enough people know that. Clips like this help others appreciate her talent as much as we WCBB and WNBA diehards do!...Thank you!
@keshealm im thinking that when @lachokola said she has more championship it was including everything... i.e.-Euroleague, NCAA, WNBA, Olympics, Worlds.... just sayin;
@bstall24 yeah that was mentioned. I don't have anything against DT actually made some videos of her check them out at keshealm. But Diana is very good but I just can't put her above Swoopes Cooper and Jackson but I LOVE Dee
@keshealm The way that the women's game has evolved and improved over the course of a decade is astounding. The game is much more athletic than it was ten years ago when Cooper and Swoopes played and dominated in the WNBA. I prefer Cooper between the two of them but I still think that Taurasi will go down as the greatest ever. As you know, she already has won everywhere she has played, but her game as an individual player is far more advanced than Jackson or even Parker could ever dream of.
@keshealm Are you seriously comparing Diana Taurasi to Lauren Jackson? lol I don't know if you've seen both of them play but a lot of stuff DT can do on the court that LJ can't or never did! I never saw LJ giving a no look pass for example or shooting a 3 with two people right in her face or driving to the basket the same way DT does! Add to that Diana can play the guard position and LJ can't.
@keshealm What more does she have to do? She has WNBA titles, she has NCAA titles, she has Euroleague titles, she gold medals, and she has scoring titles. She's also a good defender and a good playmaker.
@keshealm I'm not talking about only the WNBA championships. I'm talking about all the championships Dee won in her career. Comparing to Jackson, leslie and the ones you named in ur other comment Dee won more championships than them. Anyway we are arguing for nothing all of them are great bball players no doubt.
@lachokola I do agree that that no one can do what Diana can do on the court but the same could be said for Lauren Jackson Cooper and Swoopes. Nobody could do what they could do. That's what makes a great player, their uniqueness. That's what makes LJ SO amazing! Taurasi is amazing No doubt but so are the others. And you said Taurasi has more championships? If your talking WNBA then thats not true! Swoopes and Cooper have 4 and Lauren Jackson has2 just like Diana. And Swin Cash has more
@chamomile1800 No, Penny divorced her husband at the start of the year. I am pretty sure her & Diana have been an item for a while now. Anyway sorry to get off track it's not important. Your video really is awesome!! I gave it a thumbs up.
Oh wow! The one who made that video is a genius! Best video for her so far on Youtube! Thanks for doing this! And Yeah DT3 is the best of all time and NO ONE will ever be like her. Great basketball player.
@lachokola Thanks! I have more footage I'm going to upload soon. She just has so many amazing skills. I didn't want to make it 15 minutes long so I'm going to put more footage in a different video. Thanks for watching!
And she has a beautiful body as well
