Diana Taurasi brought home her second gold medal as the youngest player on the 2004 Olympic Team. Her first gold medal came as a member of the 2000 Junior World Championship Qualifying Team when she averaged 12.6 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 4.2 rebounds while starting all five games. Taurasi also assisted USA Basketball to a bronze medal at the 2001 Junior World Championship where she was named to the 2001 All-FIBA Junior World Championship Team and also earned July 2001 USA Basketball Female Athlete of the Month honors.

Taurasi entered the WNBA after leading the University of Connecticut to three National Championships.

The Chino, California native has been selected to two All-Star Games and recently broke the single season scoring record and set the record for most points in a single game when she scored 47 points in a triple-overtime win over the Houston Comets on August 10, 2006.
