At 42 years old, Phoenix Mercury veteran Diana Taurasi has still got it.
In the second quarter of the Mercury's matchup against the Atlanta Dream on Friday night, Taurasi deflected a pass on defense and tipped it to herself. Trying to push the ball down the floor on a fast break, Taurasi spun around and flung a no-look pass to teammate Mikiah Herbert Harrigan, who caught it on one bounce and laid it in for two points.
An absolutely beauty of a pass.
OH MY GOODNESS 😨
