Everybody was giving Taurasi props after the achievement, including Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James:

To put the milestone in perspective, the second-leading scorer in WNBA history is Tina Thompson, with 7,488 points.

Oh, and Taurasi went for 25 points Sunday in the Mercury's 88-79 win. It was her first game back since returning from a sternum fracture that cost her the past nine games.

Legends don't do rust.
