🚨Diana Taurasi Is Officially HOT GARBAGE Cheryl Reeve Finally BENCHED Her Caitlin Clark Fans FURIOUS | HO

What’s going on, everyone? It’s your boy JNA Liquid, back with another video. It looks like Diana Taurasi has finally met her fate as Coach Cheryl Reeve has officially benched her at the Paris Olympics. Let’s dive into this situation.

First off, WNBA legend Diana Taurasi is now riding the bench, and honestly, it’s no surprise. Her performance in these last few outings has been nothing short of horrific. Fans of Caitlin Clark are especially furious because, just as I predicted a week ago, Taurasi is getting a free medal. She’s heading to Paris, contributing nothing, and yet she’ll walk away with a medal simply for being a veteran. This is just wrong. Caitlin Clark could have at least added value to the team, but Taurasi? She’s been nothing but a cheerleader from the bench throughout these Olympics. It’s outrageous, and exactly what I meant when I said there’s too much politics involved in Team USA’s decisions. Right now, it’s looking like Diana Taurasi is more about the politics than the game.

Let’s keep it 100—Diana Taurasi has been looking like hot garbage, more like a coach than a player. If they wanted her experience, she should have been part of the coaching staff instead of taking up a valuable roster spot just to get a free medal and boast about having six of them. That’s all this is about—her wanting to brag about six Olympic medals.

In today’s news, it’s being reported that the USA women’s basketball team beat Nigeria in the Olympic quarterfinals, with Taurasi now officially a benchwarmer. Aja Wilson scored 20 points, and Jackie Young added 15 points, helping the USA beat Nigeria 88-74 on Wednesday night in the quarterfinals of the Paris Games. This win extends their record to 59 consecutive victories. Breanna Stewart also contributed 13 points for the Americans, who haven’t lost since the 1992 Barcelona Games. Now, they are just two victories away from an unprecedented eighth consecutive gold medal, with Australia awaiting them in the semifinals this upcoming Friday night.

As for Diana Taurasi, after a slow start in recent games, the US altered the starting lineup, putting Young in for Taurasi. This was the first time since 2004 that Taurasi didn’t start in an Olympic game. Can you imagine how she feels right now, knowing she contributed to Caitlin Clark not even making the team? Just like I said before, Taurasi was injured before these Olympics, and while I’m not saying she’s still hurt, it’s possible. But her pride wouldn’t let her skip the chance to get that sixth medal.

Taurasi managed five points early on before tweaking her ankle when she landed on a Nigerian player’s foot while shooting a jumper. She did sub back in and hit a three, her first during these Olympics, but that’s it. Young’s performance outshined her, scoring 15 points on six of 10 shooting attempts. Taurasi went one for four, with just three points in 14 minutes. Three points in 14 minutes—are you serious? And Caitlin Clark didn’t make this team?

This whole situation reeks of a publicity stunt to get Taurasi that sixth medal so she can go down in history as the most decorated WNBA player ever. It’s all politics. We know Taurasi is nearing the end of her career, possibly this being her last season in the WNBA. But why would you want this kind of blemish on your career? Getting benched in the Olympics, barely scoring, and looking like a shadow of your former self—why would you want to be remembered like that? It’s all pride, plain and simple. They know the torch is passing to players like Caitlin Clark, and they wanted to get one last moment in the spotlight before stepping aside.

Cheryl Reeve knew it too but had to face the reality—Taurasi is a liability on the court. She can’t keep up with these younger players, and keeping her in the starting lineup could cost the team the game. That’s why Reeve had to bench her. She should have been on the bench from the start or not on the team at all, maybe even part of the coaching staff.
