The Seattle Storm and Phoenix Mercury are getting ready to face each other for the third time this season. But this 2022 trilogy is more significant than any old regular-season matchup.
This Friday night showdown will be the final matchup between Sue Bird and Diana Taurasi after nearly 20 years.
To celebrate the two and some of the most historic matchups between them, the Mercury’s and Storm’s Twitter accounts had a little fun reminiscing. The two went back and forth on the social media platform on Friday afternoon in the lead-up to the showdown.
Here’s the hilarious, but wholesome, thread of the two organizations exchanging memories.
