Sky mock Diana Taurasi's broken door during championship parade
The Chicago Sky aren't going to let Phoenix Mercury star Diana Taurasi get off that easy. The Sky mocked Taurasi during Tuesday's WNBA championship parade by making the door Taurasi allegedly broke a "special guest" during the festivities.
The team actually made sure the door was present at the parade. No, really.
JUST IN!

Taurasi was accused of breaking that door following the Mercury's Game 4 loss to the Sky in the WNBA Finals. The win gave the Sky their first-ever WNBA championship.
Mercury players took the loss hard. In addition to Taurasi's reported outburst, Mercury players did not meet with the media following the Game 4 loss. Taurasi was asked about the door Monday, but did not provide a serious answer.
Taurasi wasn't the Sky's only target at the event.

Illinois native Candace Parker, who joined the Sky last offseason, said she dreamed of this moment since watching the Chicago Bulls win championships in the '90s.
“I remember watching the Chicago Bulls’ parade on TV and dreaming of being in that moment.”@Candace_Parker turned her dream into reality 🙌

Sky players weren't the only stars present at the celebration. Chance the Rapper made an appearance, and got to try on Stefanie Dolson's gold medal.
