Sue Bird

The best way to determine Sue Bird’s favorite play in a career full of unforgettable moments? Go straight to the source. As a Seattle Storm teammate works to set up the offense against the Phoenix Mercury, Bird shakes loose to grab a pass behind the arc and drains what she’s deemed the best shot of her career — with a trip to the WNBA Finals on the line, the tie-breaking triple with 2.8 seconds remaining capped a 15-0 Storm run to close the game and push Bird closer to her second of four championship rings. Bird’s performance of 16 points, five rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and a steal were vital in the Storm’s 91-88 triumph in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals on September 5, 2010.
