Kahleah Copper was traded to the Phoenix Mercury in 2024 in time for Diana Taurasi's 20th and final season.
The two shared only one season as teammates, but Taurasi welcomed Copper with open arms and helped usher in a new era for Phoenix.
When Copper went to the Paris Olympics, Taurasi and Kelsey Plum were Copper's shooting partners. After Copper didn't play in a group game against Belgium, she felt down on herself.
"I'm missing my shots and she's like, 'You're good.' And I'm like, 'Whatever,'" Copper said. "She goes, 'You're going to win a game for us.'
I'm like, 'OK, I'm going to win a game.'"
