Mercury Rookie Celebrates Diana Taurasi With Portrait
Phoenix Mercury rookie Marta Suarez celebrated Diana Taurasi by painting a portrait of her ahead of her Ring of Honor ceremony.
Marta Suarez, a rookie for the Phoenix Mercury, honored Diana Taurasi by creating a portrait to commemorate her career. Taurasi was inducted into the WNBA's Ring of Honor at a ceremony last weekend. Suarez, who has played 14 games for the Mercury this season, expressed that Taurasi has been one of her basketball idols since she first became aware of her.
The portrait, painted by Suarez, was presented to Taurasi at the Ring of Honor event, where Taurasi signed the artwork. Suarez shared that Taurasi's impact on women's basketball is immeasurable, and she feels grateful to have a piece of Taurasi's legacy. The unique portrait will be auctioned by the Mercury on Saturday, after their match against the Atlanta Dream.
Taurasi's signature on the painting increases its value, and Taurasi hinted that she might bid for the portrait herself.
