Sue Bird

Whether she’s orchestrating a championship-winning play or delivering a perfectly timed punchline, Sue Bird is a powerhouse of precision and wit. After a legendary 21-season career in the WNBA—where she secured four titles and five Olympic gold medals—Bird has seamlessly transitioned from the hardwood to the center stage of sports comedy and media. Known for her "clutch" delivery and unfiltered perspective, she has redefined the "athlete-turned-entertainer" archetype, bringing the same championship-level timing to her comedic performances as she did to the point guard position. Bird is most recognized in the comedy space for her work on the hit alternate broadcast, "The Bird & Taurasi Show" on ESPN, where her sharp banter and infectious chemistry with Diana Taurasi have earned her a reputation as one of the funniest voices in sports. Her podcast, "A Touch More," co-hosted with Megan Rapinoe, further showcases her style: a blend of high-stakes storytelling, dry humor, and relatable observations on culture and life after the game.
