On a sunny Seattle day, the city celebrated the career of one of its most beloved athletes, Sue Bird. The Seattle Storm honored their star point guard by raising her jersey number, 10, to the top of the iconic Space Needle.
The Space Needle is a symbol of Seattle and its culture, so it was only fitting that it was chosen to honor Sue Bird. The jersey was raised to the top of the 605-foot tall structure by a crane, and the entire city was able to witness the event.
Sue Bird is a four-time WNBA champion and 11-time All-Star. She has been with the Seattle Storm since 2002 and is considered one of the greatest point guards in WNBA history. She is also the only player in WNBA history to win four championships and has been named one of the WNBA’s Top 15 Players of All Time.
The celebration of Sue Bird’s career was a long time coming. She has been an integral part of the Seattle Storm’s success and her jersey number is a reminder of her impact on the team and the city.
The event was attended by many of Sue Bird’s former teammates, including Lauren Jackson, Swin Cash, and Breanna Stewart. They all shared stories about their time with Sue Bird and how she has impacted their lives.
The celebration was also attended by Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan, who said that Sue Bird is “a symbol of what it means to be a champion and a leader in our city.”
