Just days ago, WNBA legend Diana Taurasi was honored by the Mercury at a Ring of Honor ceremony in which Taurasi’s jersey No. 3 was lifted into the stands. The moment immortalized an icon of the game who needed no such fanfare. She had already made her mark on the W in her own special way.
In two decades time, that could very well be Caitlin Clark standing on the court, surrounded by former teammates and coaches and looking up at her No. 22 taking its place in the rafters at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
