Diana Taurasi entered Sunday evening’s matchup with the Los Angeles Sparks with a lot more to play for than just a regular-season win. With 14 points, Taurasi would pass Tina Thompson as the WNBA’s all-time leading scorer.

Taurasi fought through a tough start to eventually tally the historic bucket late in the second quarter, with Kobe Bryant and his two daughters on hand to witness the record.

Social media erupted with love, appreciation and admiration for the incredible career that Taurasi has had. Here are the top reactions from all over the sporting social sphere.
