Of course, the name of the game has always implied outscoring opponents no matter the age, race, gender, or competition level. In that regard, the sport has seen its fair share of great scorers at the NBA level because there are players like Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Allen Iverson that could all put up points in a hurry and have become icons when it comes to scoring in basketball. They have paved the way for younger scorers to develop their own scoring skills as well. But what about the women’s level? Of course, women’s basketball has its own fair share of great scorers as well. The great scorers that the WNBA has today grew up watching the best scorers the league has ever seen. Names like Cynthia Cooper, Tina Thompson, Lisa Leslie, and Katie Smith have all paved the way for the scorers in the WNBA, and also inspired some of the greatest women’s basketball players the sport has ever seen. And when it comes to scoring, the one name that has stood the test of time since the earlier years of the WNBA and even until today is Diana Taurasi. Did you enjoy this excerpt?
