    Diana Taurasi Retires and Paige Bueckers Takes Over GQ

    The WNBA is officially without its (true) GOAT—Diana Taurasi has retired, and we are simply not okay. Sue looks back on some of her favorite, funniest, and most peak Dee moments over the years.

We’re breaking down the latest madness, plus Azzi Fudd’s big decision: go pro or run it back at UConn for a fifth year? We also get some Extra Time with Megan ahead of the NWSL season kickoff—why she’s not sweating the USWNT’s loss to Japan and what she’s watching for this weekend. In The Intersection, Megan breaks down why Paige Bueckers’ GQ spread is the blueprint and why the best athletes always push the boundaries of style. Then, we get into the NWSL’s new kits—the good, the bad, and the ones we already ordered. And we wrap things up with a new Bicker of the Week: when Megan starts using Sue’s favorite movie lines against her… and Sue is not amused.
