In a ceremony before Seattle hosted the Phoenix Mercury on Sunday, legendary former Storm guard Sue Bird, who led the franchise to four WNBA championships, became the first WNBA player honored with a statue outside a WNBA arena.

Longtime Seattle Storm point guard Sue Bird, who already had her jersey retired and a street in Seattle named after her, had a statue erected in her honor outside Climage Pledge Arena on Sunday morning.

The Seattle Storm unveiled a statue of longtime point guard and 13-time all-star Sue Bird outside of Climate Pledge Arena over the weekend, making her the first player in WNBA history to have a statue outside of a team's home arena.
