Awesome Tribute from Megan Rapinoe. What a power couple! I am stoked to see what Sue's next chapter in life looks like.

Mrs. BIRD is definitely on top of the women's basketball mount Rushmore 💯 What a Legend 👏💪🏀🔥🔥🔥

[@MandyZor-El]

Sue was a great female basketball player.

[@lemini4k]

I would not be surprised if she becomes a NBA head coach.

[@ARR0WMANC3R]

Most Olympic gold medals in basketball.

[@hellogoodbye4061]

Shows how far women's basketball is behind the US around the world. Kinda sad actually.

[@joyciejd9673]

Love Sue and thank her for the joy and wish her the best for her future

[@channingbanks5786]

[@iamwhatyouareyouarewhatiam6613]

Sue Bird is a effin Beast! I'm just now lookin back as the WNBA began . She has always been at the top. 4 championships in any league ia a hall of fame career!

[@mackraybland5228]

My favorite wnba player of all time

[@hellogoodbye4061]

Somebody has to watch the WNBA, might as well be you.

[@carlevans9030]

[@elijah.j3288]

Calm after the storm is actually going to be a title of one of my movies set to premiere in the mid decade named bone

Great video

[@kiptyngoated5700]

“Greatest Seattle athlete of all time” Me:Shawn kemp or Gary Payton!!

[@5lim.0]

Which of them has four rings?

[@arizonaFIREent]

@@5lim.0 they went against Jordan she went against players that would average 1.2 pts in the NBA

[@evankoakai1387]

Ummm Ken Griffey anyone? Ichiro? They said athlete not basketball player. I love Sue but she isn’t greater than those 2 guys.

[@finnbalor8021]

Yeah they went a little too far. Most tenured, sure. Almost 20 years is amazing. But Shawn Kemp, Gary Payton, Ray Allen, Ken Griffey Jr, Kevin Durant,Russell Wilson? All spent less time in Seattle than her but more notable

[@SanctumROTMG]

I feel like most accomplished would have been better.

[@prussianprincess1284]

Let's see her highlights from other countries

[@lilybelle297]

💚💚💚💚💚

[@freddygutierrez6764]

Greatest pro athlete in Seattle history. Yall need to stop the bs ladies. For real. Ken Griffey shits on the whole league and I'm from Houston

[@mr.akinola07]

GREATEST ATHLETE IN SEATTLE HISTORY?

[@MightyMouse11]

She might be a Bird but plays like Magic.

[@josephogayonne8575]

If my magic you mean magic brownies that make you high cuz that's how delusional you have to be just think of this girl deserves any money when they're holy loses 10 million annually

[@xxxcacaxxx9774]

Nah she plays like trash

[@SilkyTube]

Incredible hatred in the comments

[@freddygutierrez6764]

Everything is hate now lmao. You know in life not everybody is going to like you and that's ok. We have that right

[@hellogoodbye4061]

Deservedly so, so what's your point?

[@feedyourhead731]

Misogyny

[@ryenburns7054]

Great player. Total champion baller 🏀

[@josephogayonne8575]

Bro you are a simp

[@dipsetkory7964]

Now you're just plain crazy. It's amazing the things people say in 2023

[@freddygutierrez6764]

Shawn Kemp for me

[@carseye1219]

Chill people. Is it really important that either Bird or Griffey is "#1" in Seattle sports history? Just enjoy the fact that both graced your city with their presence. Our country's divided enough without manufacturing an argument to which there are no common objective parameters.

[@kunialki8824]

ESPN is *not* the first to mention Sue Bird as the greatest athlete in Seattle. Her name has deservedly come up in this discussion by local sports beat writers and other local pro athletes. She definitely should be in the conversation.

[@beartackle]

Just saw the video and I didn't hear her mention that ESPN was the first to mention this. Also, this was Bird's fiancee talking, so if it was said in the video, she was the first to say it, I guess.

[@hellogoodbye4061]

Jack Sikma, Vin Baker, the list is long....

[@prussianprincess1284]

Let's talk about the hate that's been going for years for straight girls in the d2 ranks

[@itsrere13]

The greatest to ever do it

[@xxxcacaxxx9774]

To do what?

[@5lim.0]

Haha ESPN was like, “what other white lesbian can we get to narrate this?” Edit: how did I not know they were together

[@mnoble999]

Who?

[@walksg871]

I just took a 💩

[@antinapay]

Honest question, do women fill up the stadium seats? Would they rather watch keeping up with the Kardashians or housewives than the wnba?

[@charleyking8931]

Bill Burr actually had a good point about this in his new Netflix special, saying how many of the people who fought for a women's national basketball league haven't supported the organization they fought for the existence of. I genuinely do hope that at some point, the WNBA becomes successful from a business standpoint, but I don't see that happening anytime soon (I'm trying to root for those players while also having common sense)

[@amcra1]

There’s a lot of women at the games

[@hellogoodbye4061]

A lot of women disguised as empty seats.@@amcra1

[@midwestent.7010]

Why she look older in this video than she do now

[@TeamDaemon1980]

Sue is 2 months older than me but she's class of 1998 in high school and I'm 1999. I've always been into her the moment she got drafted 20 years ago. Pretty lesbian like Queen Maeve.

[@selfishstockton6123]

Nerd

[@mark84g5]

LeChina?? 🤣🤣🤣

[@leetraviusmckay2919]

Good player but don't disrespect Gary Payton, Shawn Kemp etc

[@lillianmarry4308]

Good comment

[@terryo3512]

Seattle also had Ken Griffey Jr.

[@thanksfortrumpcnnmsnbcandh8771]

ESPN is trying to make fetch happen

[@atiq8008]

So what

[@j.c.2787]

So I went to Popeyes today, I tried their chicken sandwich. You know, the sandwich everyone was going crazy for 2 years ago? Yea. It was pretty good!

[@j.c.2787]

@@fiftynine95 way better, the chicken is way juicer than chic's

[@mohamedabdourahman9845]

I've never tried chick fil A

[@freddygutierrez6764]

They tenders go pretty hard too. With that sweet heat dipping sauce

[@lawrencestonebraker6996]

That is a very bold statement to say she is the Greatest Professional Athlete ever from Seattle. Ken Griff is by far the greatest. Not even close. Don't forget Largent, Ichiro, Randy Johnson, Payton, Kemp, Cortez Kennedy, Stephen Alexander, and Edgar Martinez. But its her fiance making that claim so its no surprise at all. Just a foolish thing to say! The average fan knew that was a garbage comment.

[@jones4753]

Of course buddy gone say that lol

[@TheFunkytownGotcha]

When it comes winning. Sue is the standard in Seattle. We've seen amazing talent across MLB, NBA, NFL in Seattle. She stayed loyal to the city her entire career. Broke league records and most importantly she won... a lot.

[@lawrencestonebraker6996]

@@TheFunkytownGotcha the statement wasn't if she won or not, or if she was loyal. It was she is the Greatest Professional Athlete in Seattle history, which she certainly is not!..Not even close. And there isn't alot of movement in the WNBA to start with.

[@TheFunkytownGotcha]

As someone from Seattle I'm fine with the statement. In Her sport she's widely considered Top 5 all time. Her resume speaks for itself. I'm not gonna go into comparing a woman vs a man in the physical athletic standpoint. That is not at all what Megan was saying behind her point of view. Surely you were able to understand this.

[@lawrencestonebraker6996]

@@TheFunkytownGotcha I am not saying anything about genetics or anything like that. But to say she is better at her sport than Griff was is just stupid. Griff is easily top 5 all time. Sue is great, I watched her in college, but she is not the greatest athlete in Seattle history. Take a poll with you friends without mentioning names or suggestions and see who they say. I know my friends up there wouldn't say it was Bird.

[@Tajeezy13]

I’d love to see them lower the rims they would do crazy numbers because they are nice and skilled just want to see they’re feminine athleticism get to be distinguished as well

[@DORAEMON-bw8jk]

LeBron is still the GOAT no matter what Sue Bird achieves.

[@kingamiiamking4915]

Sue Bird isn't the greatest professional athlete in Seattle history. Women aren't equal to Men. Sue Bird couldn't beat Gary Payton or Shawn Kemp in anything basketball related. Sue Bird in her prime couldn't beat the top male high school players in anything athletic or basketball related. This society is a joke. ESPN is pathetic.

[@tyronealexander1159]

Who tf is SOOBUD?! Who tf is SOOBUD man?!?!

[@zelda.1776]

Why are female athletes lesbians at a mucher higher rate than the general public?

[@captaingoodguySentientA.I.]

go back in the closet

[@hellogoodbye4061]

Oh, look, a cringe worthy video of Rapinoe praising Bird to high heaven.....and, who'd a thunk - Bird did the exact same thing shortly after her choking in the World Cup.

[@hellogoodbye4061]

I won four championships in my local Over 50 men's basketball league, should I be in the Hall of Fame as we would undoubtedly rout any championship team Bird played on.
