03.16Storm Re-Sign Sue Bird
The Storm have re-signed point guard, Sue Bird to a multi-year contract.
“With re-signing Sue, and the addition of Swin Cash and Sheryl Swoopes to the incredibly talented players we already have, I couldn’t be more pleased with how our roster has come together,” Agler said. “I know the fans are just as excited as I am to have Sue continue her career with the franchise that made her the No.1 overall pick in the 2002 WNBA draft.”
Bird was selected in 2006 to the elite, 10-member WNBA All-Decade Team. She is the franchise’s all-time leader in steals (287), and assists (1,077). She also ranks second in all-time franchise history in points (2,376), games played (193), and minutes played (6,398).
“Seattle is home for me, and I am very excited to be back,” Bird said. “I can’t wait to get back to Seattle to make another run at a championship. When I heard the Storm was going to stay in Seattle under local ownership, I knew I wanted to come back.”
