I guess that means that womens basketball has grown up now; though from all appearences this is pretty mild compared to a lot of stuff that is out there. Tarusai really has seemed to go off the rails in the last few years. So I guess its not surprising that she is in Europe and not the WNBA.

there are women's players out there who play year round in both europe & in the WNBA so a player like diana taurasi is not unusual. the WNBA just doesn't pay its players the big bucks like the NBA does.

Off the rails? :laugh2:

All star in 05-05-07-09, League MVP in 2009, WNBA Champion in 2009, Finals MVP in 2009? Thats off the rails?

Still pretty stupid to take banned substance.

The DUI and other problems plus this means going off the rails as far as I am concerned. LT was coking up bad when he was playing at an ALL PRO level; are you saying he was not going off the rails then?
