Sue definitely moving into that rarified air of leadership. She was also just elected to the UCONN Foundation she'll be an asset with relationships and outreach. Nice!

Does make you wonder a little bit: if she is playing in the summer of 2022...might she be
'tempted' to play in the summer of 2024...in Paris?

Regardless....congratulations to Sue Bird....another wonderful accomplishment to a resume
just chock-full of them.
