Sue Bird

Biography

Sue Bird was the floor general who made everyone around her better for over two decades. The all-time WNBA assists leader with 3,234, she ran the Seattle Storm offense with the precision of a chess grandmaster who happened to have a killer crossover. Four championships spanning three decades - 2004, 2010, 2018, and 2020 - proved she could adapt to any era and any roster. Five Olympic golds cemented her status as perhaps the greatest winner in women's basketball history. Off the court, she became one of the most visible LGBTQ+ athletes in sports, transcending basketball entirely.
