Just finished listening to the Seattle Storm vs. Orlando Miracle (using the WNBA Audio Pass--a great feature at a super cheap price) where the Storm pulled out a win at the 8-second mark after struggling throughout the game. With the addition of Sue Bird this year the Storm are developing into an exciting team to watch--that is, if more of their games were televised! It just totally bums me out that so few of the games I want to see in the WNBA are on tv.
The thing about Sue Bird is that she is not always the high scorer--like tonight Michelle Marciniak made the final winning shot and was the high scorer and Lauren Jackson made the 3-point shot of the game that led to Marciniak's play. But what Sue Bird does is lead the team, setting up the shots, making smart plays. As others have said before, she makes everyone better on whatever team she is on. She is a great role model for young girls and I think she may end up being as fun to watch...er...listen to...in the WNBA as she was at UConn.
