The self-titled three-episode docuseries premieres on Thursday, and Prime Video teased fans on Wednesday with a clip from the series where Taurasi details the struggle and grind of WNBA salaries during the days of her playing career.

That'll win her fans and sympathy.

The janitors could probably beat some of her fellow players at their own game, too.

So, Diana, show us the janitor who has six-figure endorsement deals with Nike.

YUP.

There are far too many people who don't understand how value works.

Diana is one of them.
