My brother would come to UConn games to watch his favorite player Diana Taurasi. He is 75 years old!! He has her autographed picture from one of her games in college on the wall in the office. Must have been a tough decision but the right one after 20 years.

I would like to express my generous satisfaction towards Ms Robin Roberts for orchestrating a magnificent as well as unforgettable imperson interview with basketball legend Ms Diana Tarsaui previously announcing her retirement from the sport she faithfully transcended into a different level worldwide. Ms Roberts I totally became a frequent viewer of your broadcasting career when you were formerly employed by ESPN television network as a sports anchor. I literally admire your diversity in terms of your profession of broadcasting you literally refuse to restrict your ability to a particular news genre. I vividly remembered you participated by becoming a hostess as well as recieve the humanitarian ESPN sports award. To Ms Diana Tarsaui unfortunately as a constant supporter of your basketball talents I will sadly miss you. I literally became a fan of you in your collegiate career during your representation of the University of Connecticut Huskies. The huskies in my personal opinion were a fantastic team with incredible Hall Fame players. Especially yourself, Ms Rebecca Lobo, Ms Swin Cash and Ms Sue Bird coach by legendary Mr Geno Auriemma. I am extremely proud your parents made a wonderful sacrifice to migrate to United States in search for a promising future. I absolutely applaud your devoted efforts to raise your children to the greatest of your capability. I strongly believe it's utterly ridiculous as well as cruel for women professional athletes especially the game of basketball to unable to recieve a lavish amount of finance that are totally equal to their male comrads in basketball. I absolutely think it's clearly unreasonable that the majority of the women has to play basketball overseas inorder to inherit a extra financial income. I would like to wish you a happy retirement as well as you alongside Ms Roberts a pleasant and productive 2025.God bless each person have a delightful week.

DT the goat on all levels of womens basketball. Thanks for the memories!

[cjsnedegar]

Never been a fan just bcus she has never once played for my team unless it was in the Olympics. But I have always respected her game. I'm kind of interested in seeing what she does next. Bcus I believe she would make a great assistant coach or be able to help on someone's staff. Bcus like she said it's been nothing but basketball for 30yrs and I'm sure it's been longer then that

[Isaiahvsthegame]

One of the Goats one of my biggest influences in basketball have a good retirement dee🙏🏾

[Juan_nicolas]
