From Somewhere: Diana Taurasi
Спорт
Before she led UConn to three national championships and the Phoenix Mercury to three WNBA championships, Diana Taurasi was just a kid from Chino, California. We’re all built by where we come from and where we’re headed. This is her story.

I'm from Chino and I'm glad to see Diana will always hold Chino in her heart..... I went to school with Diana in Jr high.... Ramona Jr high school in Chino CA we had P. E. Together same period same teacher Mr Edge.... I see Dania and I just think of Chino pride.... My wife doesn't believe me that I went to school with her.... Right on Diana may God bless you....
Three time WNBA champion. Six Time Euroleague champion. Four Olympic gold medals. Three NCAA titles. Not too shabby. LOL.

I'm a Big Tennesse fan when it comes to women's hoop/ Love me some Pat. But Dianna is amazing!
I was honored to be at her GOAT ceremony in Phoenix; with her parents, and thousands of fans. Incredible athlete and charismatic presence. Much much gratitude!
Truly one of the best (if not the best) to play the game. For those who wonder...she truly is still the girl next door from Chino and appears to be raising her kids to know the importance of where they come from and family. Love ya Dee!!
I grew up in Chino so I’m just a kid from Chino as well LOL. But when I was a baller, WNBA was not in existence. When my nephew told me about Diana Taurasi, I went on KZread to check it out and my eyes just popped out! Diana has got some awesome moves and understands the game. Brought me back to when I was a guard playing up against some big tall boys back in the day. How I wish they had a professional woman’s basketball league back then. I think Diana would would make an awesome mentor! Paige Buecher Is the current star now but no offense. She doesn’t have the female swagger and complete skills that Diana has but she’s learning. Hey Di Anna… Next time you and your wifey and baby drive to Chino, give me a holler. I’d love to swap some stories with you! Best wishes always.
i love diana taurasi!!!! truly always has been and still is the greatest female basketball player

San Diego dt was actually voted on tv as the goat
I had no idea she had Argentinian and italian background. Heard her speak spanish and she has that perfect Argentinian accent, thats awesome, lol!!
She's one of my all-time favorite basketball players. She always comes up in big in the clutch and she plays with so much confidence!
Diana Taurasi is the best female basketball player. Ever. She will always be my hero.
So talented, tough and humble! The best! 🐐🐐🐐
Yes, the best of all time and the most fun to watch.
Let me tell you D could've been a World Cup soccer player. She was amazing at both sports!!!
One of the best videos about Diana Taurasi
When I saw Diana come off the bench for the first time, I knew she was bringing a whole new level to the game. She was actually fun to watch at UCONN.
What an amazing history of what is undeniably an awesome basketball player. And incredible role model.
DIANA TAURASI , ES UNA DE LAS MEJORES JUGADORAS QUE VI Y LO MAS LINDO CON LA SENCILLES QUE HABLA ESPANOL GRACIAS POR SER PARTE DE ARGENTINA
I Love Taurasi! Her Parents are adorable!
Diana is nothing but a natural,one of the Best in the country,great for UCONN,she just kept getting better.True Athlete 💗🇺🇸🙏🏻🤙✨✨✨
Diana is the GOAT in women's basketball. Nothing else needs be said. Beautiful person also.
My daughter Yvette LOVES you DT. All our love to you and Penny from 5yr old daughter in Melbourne 🇦🇺❤️
I just remember watching her play on tv and being BLOWN AWAY by her determination and style of attack! She’s one of the greatest to ever do it!!!
Diana you and your family were always kind people. I'm so glad we were able to meet you all. Your mom was always smiling so were you. Congratulations on birth of your daughter and beautiful family. May God continue to bless you all.
She is simply the G.O.A.T
She always liked her personality. Her Bill Simmons interviews are good too. I think out of all of the WNBA players she'd fit with the TNT crew.
La conocí x el saludo a Maradona! !! Aqui estoy viendola y es una maravilla !!! Dios te Bendiga Diana !!!😊👏👏👏👏
Diana Turasi is a legend in the making.
i really respect this woman.
What a great video I enjoyed every minute of it
My Favorite Player 🙏🏾💙🙌🏾💯
There is never a player that is so great themselves but even that makes their teammates better!
Always been my favorite woman bball player. She had Uconn lit.
Diana is my idol
i hope there'd be more videos of dee. she's really inspiring.
She's still the GOAT!
I really admire Diana,love to follow all videos she had... Love from Philippines...
She is a beast!
Awesome 👏🏻
LOS ARGENTINOS ESTAMOS ORGULLOSOS DE VOS DIANA
G.O.A.T glad to call her my idol 💖👍

There's no one like Diana Taurasi. No one.
I love your story
VAMOS ARGENTINA, CARAJOOOO!
Love her.
THIS WAS REAL GOOD
te amo dianita . DESDE VALDIVIA CHILE BESOS
Truly is Diana Taurasi is the Best of all time Female Basketball Player of the world.
Incredible Player 🏀
outstanding video
Chino. Chino hills. Older bruh bought a house out there in 1991. Luv it. Reminds me of Cerritos CA. Use to be nice cow towns. Good people. Salute
I have always liked her spirit … free yet with respect and dignity.
Her Smile,
Great piece
Diana es ARGENTINA 🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
Great production ❤
Best Diana
This video has clips from the park in my hometown
I really enjoyed this video. Hopefully The Player's Tribune will do more videos like this for more, if not all, WNBA players. It would also be good if the WNBA used its KZread page to produce videos like this for all its WNBA stars. Although I think the problems for the WNBA are bigger than just marketing, players like Elena Delle Donne might be right when the say stories about the players and their families will get people more interested in the WNBA.
This is sweet.
Diana is amazing. I regret to this day never getting a photo with her. I met her at one of her practices at UConn. I was an assistant coach with Smith College at that time, must be over 16 years ago. I remember Gino saying to Diana that we were a school she would never make it at. LOL so funny. I wish her continued success. Still would have love the pic, haha.

I was very lucky enough to be able to meet her in real life and she was super duper nice
I was at a game And Griner ALTMOST punch somebody it was crazy then Taursi stop it then she had to went to the back
Shame there wasn't always a WNBA . Dawn Staley was absolutely a point guard for the ages , but not the scorer Taurasi is . Catchings #1 defensive player & a force on offense . Hardest worker for sure .
Saw her years ago playing against Rutgers, either Big East or NCAA tournament, can't recall. Nonetheless, she was amazing and enjoyable to watch.
Wow!!!....her sister is a knock out "Gorgeous"
Nice
Documentary should be called "From Somewhere To The Top.
wow.....................
🐐
GOATTTT
It’s the same town of the Ball family?
The Goat! She's the MJ of women's basketball
Greatest basketball player ever, until we see what Stewie can do. But for know yeap she is.
Damn. So sad she's retiring soon 😢
🙂❤️🔥. Champions Pace x, Xavier Champ, myself, Ontario, ca 1999 high school, myself on the team as a basketball player and sportswriter for our school, NEAR BY CHINO, love !🙂, jr high 31 halfcourt shots made record! DT muah ! Be the Amazing wonderful woman you are Congrats ! Rep wnba and us fam DT 🙂
I RECOGNISE ALL THE LOCATIONS THEY SHOWED
Curry of the WNBA
This is 2 years before the Ball Family. Chino is on the map know.
Coach deff does an at home visit for a player like that
Were Mayans being shipped to Italy??? Her nose is identically similar to the Mayans.
Uconn a women basketball factory! Many great players, #1 draft picks,
Chino. Wow.

kita P Your definitely on point. Coop was that girl. She crushed it overseas for years. If she was younger, the same thing would have happened in the league. Instead of Leslie, Swoopes, Griner. League talk would have been Cynthia (with some dope passing from penetierro)! 👍🏼

Why is it that fans act like no one could've been better than a player they watched play live? Ask Diana Taurasi about CYNTHIA COOPER. Cooper came into the inaugural WNBA season on Sheryl Swoopes team and became the league's number one star... Not Swoopes, not Lobo, but a player unknown in her own country. It's not all about trophies, people. Watch the film if you don't understand.
