Lauren Jackson and Diana Taurasi bring experience to their Olympic women’s basketball teams

Associated Press  

PARIS — Diana Taurasi wishes people would stop talking about her age. and I feel like I’m doing my job.” Unlike Jackson, Taurasi has been a bit annoyed with the narrative that she’s old for an Olympic basketball player. When you dedicate your whole life, your whole career to something, and you get the question of, ‘Why don’t you just retire?’” Taurasi said before the Olympics began. But if you’re the person being asked, it is a bit disrespectful.” No women’s basketball player has ever played in six Olympics and none have been as successful as Taurasi. She’s had so many years of experience and the way she sees the game is really special,” U.S. forward Napheesa Collier said.
