    Diana Taurasi and Team USA suffered an eye-opening loss to the 2024 WNBA All-Stars on Saturday.

    Right after the contest, Team USA huddled on the court, with the Phoenix Mercury star giving her teammates a much-needed reminder about how things are not supposed to be too easy for the squad.

    “It’s a good reminder. We gotta come to play no matter who we are,” Taurasi told her teammates following their 117-109 loss at the hands of Arike Ogunbowale and company.

    Taurasi knows what it takes to win in the Olympics, and anyone who dares question that will have to wrestle with the fact that she's got five Olympic gold medals at home. That's not to mention that the future Hall of Famer also has won four World Championship golds.

    At 42 years old, Taurasi is no longer in her prime, but she showed she can still contribute a lot to Team USA on the court and in the locker room.

    She had 14 points on 5-of-9 shooting from the floor to go with six rebounds and five assists in the all-star game. Her plus-5 in that contest was also the best among all Team USA players.
