Meet some of the players: Kawhi Leonard In the era of legacies in professional sports (the New England Patriots, the Golden State Warriors, and the Boston Red Sox, to name just a few), Leonard’s legacy may be in his ability to move effortlessly from team to team and make those around him better. He is, one could say, his own dynasty. Only three players in the history of the game have won the Finals MVP Award with two different teams: Kareem, LeBron, and Kawhi. Diana Taurasi When she steps away from the game, Diana Taurasi will be remembered as one of the best—if not the best—to play the game. She will be remembered for her deadly three-point shooting ability, her passion for the game of basketball, and her ability to win wherever she goes. Joel Embiid As a young boy, Embiid had no plans to play basketball. The sport was so rare in his native country that there were only two public courts. Instead, the Cameroon national obsession was soccer. Beyond that, his father pushed him to pursue a career in volleyball. By the time he was 15, Embiid was nearly seven feet tall—becoming a forceful hitter in volleyball made perfect sense. Embiid would soon follow another path, though, one that would lead him to basketball. Brittney Griner Big, physical centers aren’t supposed to lead the league in scoring. In all of professional basketball, no center has been a leading scorer for more than two decades. Brittney Griner is the exception. The Phoenix Mercury center has won the WNBA scoring title twice—in 2017 and 2019—and she added two Defensive Player of the Year awards along the way.
