Diana Taurasi, the leading scorer in WNBA history and voted "greatest of all-time" by the league's fans, announced her retirement Tuesday after 20 seasons.
Taurasi, 42, steps away as one of the most decorated players in women's basketball history. She made an impact from her first moments at UConn Huskies in 2000, and she was still in the spotlight through the end of her WNBA career, helping lead the Phoenix Mercury to the playoffs this month.
In August, Taurasi became the first basketball player to win six Olympic gold medals.
Taurasi scored 10,646 points -- the only WNBA player to surpass the 10K mark in scoring -- in 565 regular season games, and she scored another 1,476 points in 72 playoff games.
