Sue Bird

Listen Later

For the first time since 2001, Sue Bird is not stepping foot on the WNBA hardwood for the Seattle Storm. So with nothing else better to do, she joins Ariel Helwani today for a conversation about the retired life, as well as the following topics:

  • Why she hasn't laced up a pair of basketball sneakers since walking away from the game last year at age 41 (5:18)
  • What she learned from her time spent in the Denver Nuggets front office (10:52)
  • If an NBA team will ever return to her beloved city of Seattle (15:00)
  • Whether she believes LeBron James will actually call it quits after he recently hinted about retirement (18:32)

    • Plus, Bird talks about her aspirations for basketball broadcasting.

    Sue Bird is one of the most decorated players in the history of women's basketball. The winner of five Olympic gold medals, four WNBA titles with the Seattle Storm, and two college basketball championships at UConn, Bird is undeniably one of the best to ever play the women's game.
