When it comes to basketball goats and WNBA greatness, look no further than Mercury’s Diana Taurasi and Storm’s Sue Bird. Between the two of them, they have a combined seven WNBA titles, 22 All-Star selections, the league’s all-time assists leader and the WNBA’s all-time scoring leader.
However, when Bird and Taurasi take the floor for their respective teams, like they did on Saturday in an early season matchup, it is all business.
