Nearly three months ago, Sue Bird, the greatest point guard in WNBA history, let the world in on a not-so-shocking secret — the 2022 season would be the final of her storied 19-season career.
The farewell tour came fast and went even faster on Tuesday night when the basketball community witnessed the end of one of the greatest careers in the history of professional sports. Las Vegas Aces eliminated the Storm from the postseason on their home court with a 97-92 victory in the WNBA Semifinals.
Wearing her No. 10 Seattle Storm jersey for the last time, Bird made her exit off the hardwood to an overwhelming amount of cheers from the Seattle fans. The send-off and the moments that both preceded and succeeded it are ones we’ll remember forever.
