About this person
Born October 16, 1980, Sue Bird was New York State Player of the Year in high school before joining the University of Connecticut, where she won two NCAA championships and finished with a 114-4 record. The Storm drafted her first overall in 2002. Over twenty seasons in Seattle - interrupted by winters playing Russian league ball, where she won five EuroLeague titles - she became the backbone of a franchise that won in 2004, 2010, 2018, and 2020. She played on five Olympic teams from 2004 through 2020, winning gold each time, and four World Cup squads. Thirteen All-Star nods, eight All-WNBA selections, every major historical roster the league compiled. She retired after the 2022 season and entered the Naismith Hall of Fame in 2025.
