Diana is one of my favorite players, men or women, ever. Of all the stats listed above, the one that shocks me is ONLY 122 technical fouls? I would have guessed 5X that amount! LOL! I have never seen anyone try so hard to win games, even in blow outs as Diana. She would still be elbowing and yelling at opposing players to the end. Even heard on TV one time telling a referee she would be waiting for him after the game in the parking lot! LOL! Talent + Fire = Diana
So, was she injured for several seasons or is that just how short the WNBA seasons are? Using the posted numbers, she played 20 years and has 15.5 wins a year out of a possible 28.25 games she played each year?

The season varied in length over twenty years. Mercury did have some stinker seasons in there, too.
I think she broke her leg if I remember right, and missed a bunch of a season.
"She was a long-time critic of the pay scale in the WNBA and once accepted money from her overseas team in Russia to sit out an entire season, embarrassing the league in the process. At the time, she was making $107,000 with the Phoenix Mercury."
