SEATTLE — They lined up hours before the game, snaking around Climate Pledge Arena, most of them in No. 10 jerseys and shirts, determined to get inside early to soak up every second they could with not just the best point guard of all time in the women’s game, but also the most influential women’s player of her era.
It was Sue Bird Sunday during the Seattle Storm's 89-81 loss to the Las Vegas Aces, an up-tempo, high-level contest (Bird finished with nine points, six assists and four rebounds) that doubled as the four-time WNBA champion's final regular-season home game. Granted, it wasn’t the send-off she was hoping for, which Olympic teammate A’ja Wilson (29 points, six rebounds) felt somewhat bad about.
