Tina Charles shared a cool moment with Diana Taurasi before making WNBA history as its 2nd all-time leading scorer
WNBA legend Tina Charles made league history on Wednesday night in the Atlanta Dream’s home game against the Phoenix Mercury.
With a 3-pointer, Charles passed Tina Thompson on the WNBA’s all-time scoring list to earn the second spot.
The former WNBA MVP is now only behind Mercury legend Diana Taurasi on the league’s all-time scoring list, which is an absolutely stellar feat for the Dream center.
In fact, the fellow UConn alumni and good friends shared an awesome moment with each other before Charles achieved her fantastic scoring mark.
What a great moment this is for WNBA history, as Charles further solidified her legacy and will now stand right next to Taurasi in the WNBA hall of history.
