Seattle Storm unveils statue of Sue Bird

SEATTLE (NBC, KYMA/KECY) - The Seattle Storm unveiled a statue of Sue Bird outside of the Climate Pledge Arena over the weekend.

The longtime Storm point guard already had her jersey retired and a street in the city named after her, and on Sunday, she became the first player in WNBA history to have a statue erected outside of a team's home arena.

Bird's eight-foot, 650-pound statue is located close to that of former Supersonics player and coach Lenny Wilkens.

The statue depicts Bird scoring a layup, which she said was a nod to how she scored both her first and final baskets in the WNBA.

In total, the Storm's scoring leader racked up 6,803 points to complement her wnba-record 3,234 assists.

Bird, a 13-time all-star who won four WNBA championships, is the only player in league history to win titles across three different decades.
