  1. I’m a born and raised Seattleite and Sue Bird joined the Storm when I was in 2nd grade (2002). I’ve been pretty emotional thinking about the fact that she may retire this year 😭

  2. A Timeline of a Tizzy:

    Sue Bird and Diana Taurasi: start stripping

    Me: wh—what? * brain stops working *

    Sue Bird and Diana Taurasi: being normal about their bodies

    Me: ohhh my goddddddd

    Sue Bird: runs to the locker room with nary a thought of stopping to put Diana’s jersey on

    Me: * sweats, fans self *

    • 22 years later, Brandi Chastain heaves a heavy sigh. “At last,” she says to no one, “I am not alone…”

  3. the pure serotonin that Sue and DT’s bickering gave me!! I’ve been showing the clip to everyone I know (pretty much nobody cares)
