UConn and WNBA legend Diana Taurasi, arguably the greatest player her league has ever seen, recently told a phenomenal story about missing one free throw to win a <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/andre-iguodala-spent-two-or-three-grand-on-jordans-after-signing-his-first-nba-contract\/\">pair of Jordans<\/a> at MJ's basketball camp, something the six-time NBA champ made sure she didn't forget a year later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Diana Taurasi was a Michael Jordan fan growing up, despite rooting for the Lakers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Diana Taurasi Joins SportsCenter With Scott Van Pelt\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zErze17cHxw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/michael-jordans-all-time-starting-five-consists-of-himself-and-only-players-from-his-era\/\">Michael Jordan's All-Time Starting Five Consists of Himself and Only Players From His Era<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Growing up about 35 miles east of Los Angeles, Diana Taurasi was naturally a fan of the Lakers. Sorry, <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/a-look-back-on-the-crazy-trade-that-nearly-sent-michael-jordan-to-the-los-angeles-clippers-in-1988\/\">Clippers<\/a> fans, but nobody rooted for them back in the '90s. However, as anyone who watched the NBA back then, it was impossible not to follow Michael Jordan, even if you didn't root for the Chicago Bulls. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just after the final episode of <em>The Last Dance<\/em> aired this past Sunday, Taurasi appeared with Scott Van Pelt on ESPN's &#8220;SportsCenter&#8221; and revealed that while she was a fan of guys like <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/eddie-jones-isnt-given-enough-credit-for-his-role-in-lakers-history\/\">Eddie Jones<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/what-happened-to-former-nba-star-nick-van-exel\/\">Nick Van Exel<\/a> in the mid-90s, she couldn't help but be drawn to Michael Jordan and still has the poster she had on her wall in high school in her gym at home today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As any teenager would be, you can imagine how excited she was to attend Jordan's famous basketball camp following her senior year of high school in 2000, a year in which she was named Ms. Basketball in the state of California (her second straight win), as well as the National Player of the Year. Little did she know she would end up having a great story to tell for the rest of her life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Diana Taurasi missed a free throw to win a pair of Jordans<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Diana Taurasi&#039;s Top 10 WNBA Career Plays!\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9VO7aFUMcWc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/ranking-the-6-nba-titles-of-michael-jordan-and-the-chicago-bulls\/\">Ranking the 6 NBA Titles of Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Diana Taurasi first attended Michael Jordan's basketball camp in Santa Barbara in 2000, MJ was two years removed from his last season with the Bulls. But that didn't mean that his competitive spirit was gone. Taurasi recently told a story about how she had a chance to win a pair of Jordans at the camp, only to fall just short. While she told the story to Van Pelt, she gave a more-detailed version to fellow WNBA icon Sue Bird and her longtime girlfriend, soccer star Megan Rapinoe, on an episode of their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=IrCckfiSmaQ\">&#8220;A Touch More&#8221;<\/a> series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;It's an &#8216;around the world,' 10 spots, you gotta make 10 in a row and make a free throw and you win a free pair of Jordans.

But she was apparently unaware of just how ruthless MJ could be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;He goes &#8216;Uh, nice try' and didn't even break a smile. &#8216;Nice try.

The season following the epic burn from Michael Jordan, she led UConn to the first of three consecutive NCAA titles.
