Kobe Bryant
Los Angeles Lakers
Diana Taurasi
Phoenix Mercury
“Lethal” is probably the best word to describe both of these extraordinary players -- though we could also go with “perfectionists” or “relentless” or “unstoppable” or, simply, “champions.”
They've both won scoring titles and headlined All-Star Games. They're each virtual locks for All-NBA/WNBA teams every year and on the shortlist for MVP and Finals MVP. And they're both no strangers to winning -- five NBA titles for Kobe and two WNBA titles for Diana, to go along with Taurasi's slew of international titles in the Euroleague and Russian leagues.
Kobe and Diana are two of the most fierce competitors their respective league has ever seen. There is no such thing as attack mode with them -- that is just their day-to-day. Kobe calls this #mambamentality. We’ll use another Kobe Twitter hashtag for this pairing: #differentanimalsamebeast.
great read, tbh...
