SEATTLE—Sue Bird was at the conclusion of her speech to the sold out crowd, nearly all of whom still remained, and decided—maybe hoped—this would not be the last time she would get to play in the city she’s called home the past two decades.
“I don’t really have that ‘Mamba Out’ moment,” Bird said referencing Kobe Bryant’s retirement speech. “I just want to say I love you, thank you so much and I’ll see you in the playoffs.”
