Mercury star Diana Taurasi, at 40 years old, remains one of the faces of the WNBA, which has been rapidly growing in popularity over the last couple of seasons.

Taurasi was asked on Thursday about the tendency for WNBA broadcasters to compare women’s basketball players to prominent stars in the NBA. Her answer, via The Athletic‘s Richard Deitsch, was interesting.
