Regarded as the world’s premier point guard, Sue Bird is a universally celebrated star and the WNBA’s All-Time Leader in Assists. She is known for being selfless, driven, encouraging, funny and smart and receives regular coverage for her fashion prowess.

Sue is also a five-time Euroleague Champion, an eleven-time WNBA All-Star, was voted by the fans as one of the WNBA’s Top 15 Players of All Time. Off the court, Sue spends time as a basketball analyst for ESPN, as a front office executive with the Denver Nuggets and advocating for equality, LGBTQ+ rights, Black Lives, universal health and wellness and expanding opportunities for girls.
