We have that with Unrivaled. We have that with Europe. The potential of having a league in, in Saudi Arabia seems unconventional. But at the same time seems like the perfect place in a lot of, in a lot of ways.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Taurasi was <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/womens-college-basketball-22242d784a4720456af59ae4d4b56660\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">recently voted<\/a> by The Associated Press as one of the greatest players in the last 50 years.
