Before even hitting her thirties, Phoenix Mercury guard Diana Taurasi is already one of the most accomplished female basketball players of all-time. Her resume stacks well against nearly anybody you compare her to. Two-time Naismith Player of the Year Award; Three NCAA National Championships, including two Tournament MVP Nods; 2004 WNBA Rookie of the Year; 5-time All WNBA First Team; 4-time WNBA All-Star; 2009 WNBA MVP; Four Euroleague Championships; 2-time Euroleague MVP; 2-time Olympic Gold Medalist; and 2010 World Championship Gold Medalist.
When you're a female athlete, you have to work extra hard to be on the receiving end of Player Exclusive sneakers and signatures. A testament to how good Diana is, she's had both. While Nike's Air Taurasi is now merely a memory, the star guard spent last season wearing PE colorways of the Air Max LeBron VII for home and away Mercury games, as well as during her time with Team USA. Though rarely seen, here's a look at a few of Taurasi's Brons courtesy of MySoleToKeep.
