After a legendary 19-season WNBA career, Sue Bird received a giant honor from her only team in the league, the Seattle Storm. The retired guard led the franchise to four WNBA championships while becoming a 13-time All-Star, eight-time All-WNBA, and three-time assists champion, among other accolades.

Bird was already a Hall of Famer before the Storm honored her with a rare feat that not even many NBA legends have. On Sunday, her statue was unveiled outside Climate Pledge Arena. The team held the ceremony ahead of a duel against the Phoenix Mercury.

Shortly after, they shared a video on Instagram, which showed Geno Auriemma paying homage to his former UConn Huskies player. Auriemma and Bird won two NCAA championships together and their relationship has been close ever since.
