Voted in 2021 as the WNBA’s GOAT, Taurasi has been dominating the league for almost two decades. As the leader of the Phoenix Mercury, she has hoisted the championship trophy three times. Her individual accomplishments consist of 10 All-Star selections, WNBA MVP, two-time WNBA Finals MVP, and 10 All-WNBA First Team selections. While Taurasi’s WNBA resume is robust, one of her most notable achievements is on the international stage. The California native is a five-time Olympic gold medalist—one of only two athletes to reach this significant milestone, the other being Sue Bird. Wherever she’s gone, Taurasi has led her teams to success. Her imprint isn’t just on the WNBA, but basketball as a whole, making her a clear choice for the NBA 2K24 cover*.
