A three-part documentary about retired WNBA star Diana Taurasi is scheduled for release on Prime Video starting Aug. 7, according to a trailer released by the streaming platform.
The docuseries, called "Taurasi," features Taurasi and those closest to her talking about how she became the WNBA’s all-time leader in almost every category.
Taurasi retired from the Phoenix Mercury earlier this year. She helped lead the team to three championships and received numerous awards over 20 seasons.
In a trailer, Taurasi remembers early on at the University of Connecticut when she felt like she wasn’t good enough.
"Went from being the best kid on every team I ever played on. Got to UCONN, and I was like, 'Oh, I don't think I’m going to play this year,'" she said. "It kind of made me look in the mirror. I got to push myself in ways that I didn’t think I could be pushed.
Next summer, her uniform number will be retired, and Taurasi will be inducted into the Mercury Ring of Honor.
