Getting Diana Taurasi angry in a game of basketball is about the dumbest thing one can do. Once she’s locked in, Taurasi’s not coming out until you, your team and every fan in attendance has been embarrassed.
Diana Taurasi’s no-look pass against the Storm was vintage G.O.A.T.
Taurasi has eyes everywhere. Sometimes she decides she doesnt need to use them.
In Game 1 of the Phoenix Mercury’s semifinals series against the top-seed Seattle Storm, Taurasi was fueled by a handful of foul calls that didn’t go her way. So in return she threw a filthy no-look pass that no person on Earth should have the audacity to throw — except Taurasi of course.
The tricky part about no-look passes is that sometimes the player is actually looking when you slow down the film. On repeat, it never looks as good.
But no, this Taurasi dime looks even better each time you look.
Here’s when she realized where she was going to put the ball:

Who the heck can do this at 36 years old? Who the heck can do this at any years old?
Diana Taurasi’s relentless hustle is exactly what makes basketball so fun. Well, maybe unless you’re a referee.
