NBA Stars React To Sue Bird’s Unreal Clutch Performance, Advancing To WNBA Finals
This is a WNBA story we love to report about. All the comparisons and salary discussions have somewhat been annoying, when these women indeed can play some amazing basketball.
In the league’s do-or-die Game 5 (WNBA has a best of 5 series format) of the Western Conference Finals, Seattle Storm point guard Sue Bird went completly nuts and took over the game, dropping 14 points in the final 5:48 minutes.
Sue Bird is the oldest player in the @WNBA.
That didn't stop her from dropping FOURTEEN in the final 5:48 to send Seattle to the Finals 🔥 pic.twitter.com/jCqw1cyDsB

Normally, women do not like to talk about their age, or even have others talk about it, but Sue Bird is the oldest woman in the NBA, which makes the performance even more impressive.
Her clutch shooting led Seattle to the Finals and made her receive the respect and recognition from some of the best NBA players.
