Sue Bird is making it official. Though she has said all signs point toward this season being her last, until Thursday she had yet to come out and say it to be true. Then the hashtag came: #TheFinalYear.
Bird announced on Twitter she is playing out the final months of her career after 21 seasons, all with the Seattle Storm. The team also issued a release with the news.
"I've decided this will be my final year," she wrote. "I have loved every single minute, and still do, so gonna play my last year, just like this little girl played her first.
