I might be completely biased here, but this is a really important documentary - to come out now, of all times. The WNBA hasn't had its due until now. And, everything, all the greatness, all time athletes, legacies that came before that, have a grave chance of being forgotten. "Taurasi" thoroughly and seamlessly explores the waves, ups and downs, nuanced playing career of the GOAT, Diana Taurasi, who has elevated the game of basketball in all levels and was the poster child of the league, when the WNBA was sadly just not ready for it. With a lot of sports documentary, we just get the highlights of an athletes life start to finish shown in a straightforward manner, but that's it. This doc is personal, heartfelt and real, not shying away from the messiness of things, and instead talks about these topics honestly - and that's all that you need. You could tell this doc was made with genuine love for its subject and understands the gravity of portraying and showing things right. For a lot of people, this is the first, full view of Taurasi, outside of the click-bait one-sided debates that simply don't know the history and relevance she represented and held up for so long. With this documentary, I hope this pushes people to appreciate those that came before and look into the games that were played in years past. To finally get the recognition and praise from a worldwide stage that financially and culturally society didn't support and only now has opened up. Now, with the attention, eyes and awareness, let's give Taurasi and many others who have transformed the game for generations to come, their much deserved flowers.
