It’s “Sue Bird weekend” in Seattle, which leads up to the basketball legend’s jersey retirement at Climate Pledge Arena on Sunday.
On Friday, the Space Needle commemorated the upcoming eternal honor by raising a replica of Bird’s jersey retirement banner.“Rain’s my favorite, so I just wanted to make sure it was perfect for today,” Bird joked.
“Not to give away my speech on Sunday, but really has become my home in so many ways,” Bird said on Friday. “When I land at Sea-Tac, I feel like I’m home… This is where I’ve really grown up as an adult, and so for that reason, this is probably more home than anywhere else.”Bird expressed interest in sports ownership, while also mentioning a front office role or coaching... but nothing in the immediate future.
The Storm also unveiled a mural at 2030 First Avenue in Belltown on Friday, honoring Bird’s career. The mural was painted by local Seattle artist Craig Cundiff.
