SEATTLE (AP) — Sue Bird helped the Seattle Storm to four WNBA titles. Now, she will continue guiding the franchise as one of its owners.

Bird said in a team statement her involvement with the Storm will continue to grow the game. “Investing in women’s sports isn’t just about passion,” she said. “It’s smart business.”

Bird was part of WNBA championships in 2004, 2010, 2018 and 2020.
Storm co-owner Lisa Brummel said Bird’s knowledge of the game and the league, plus her business acumen “make her a superb addition,”
The ownership group recently opened the Seattle Storm Center for Basketball Performance, a new, $64 million practice facility.
