Catching up with NBA 2K23 cover athlete Diana Taurasi

Basketball fans of all stripes love the popular video game franchise NBA 2K, and the latest edition is full of new features, exciting gameplay, and adorned with some of the game’s best players as cover athletes.

Devin Booker and Michael Jordan will be two of the stars of NBA 2K23, while the franchise tapped legends Sue Bird and Diana Taurasi as the cover athletes for the WNBA edition of the game.

Taurasi is the WNBA’s all-time leading scorer, a five-time Olympic gold medalist and a three-time WNBA champion. She’s one of the best to ever do it and a fitting cover athlete for NBA 2K23 -- and she even has some kind words about the Boston Celtics despite growing up a Los Angeles Lakers fan.

Our Cameron Tabatabaie chatted with Taurasi to celebrate this next milestone in her career. In an interview conducted at the end of June, Taurasi discussed her favorite video games, the state of athletics in the United States and the importance of some of the difficult headlines and issues in the world today we thought you might want to listen to while we work on our next installment of the Celtics Lab podcast.
