After a championed career spanning three decades and regarded as the world’s premier point guard, Sue Bird has left her mark on the WNBA and the world of women’s sports. The league’s all-time leader in assists retired in September of 2022 and has since tapped into her progressive entrepreneurial spirit. Bird dominated at every level in basketball. She is one of only seven women to win an Olympic gold medal (she’s won five), a world championship gold medal (she’s won four), an NCAA Championship (she’s won two) and a WNBA Championship (she’s won four – the last just weeks before her 40th birthday). Sue is also a 5x EuroLeague Champion, a 13x WNBA All-Star, 2021 USA Basketball Female Athlete of the Year, and was voted by the fans as one of the WNBA’s Top 15 Players of All Time. Following Sue’s retirement in 2022, her jersey was retired by the Seattle Storm, making her only the second player in franchise history to have received that honor and in 2024, she officially joined the Seattle Storm ownership group. In 2021, Bird co-founded Togethxr – a woman-centered media group – alongside Alex Morgan, Simone Manuel and Chloe Kim, to further the progress, culture, representation and coverage of all women and girls in sport. Through Togethxr, Sue produced Power of the Dream, a documentary from director Dawn Porter on the WNBA and their fight for social justice, which had a major impact on US politics in 2020; and the successful six-part podcast series, “Summer of Gold,” about the American female athletes who dominated in the 1996 Atlanta games. It was recently announced that this podcast series will be adapted into a television limited series with Bird as one of the executive producers on the project. Earlier this year, Sue hosted “Sue’s Places,” a take on Peyton Manning’s signature ESPN+ Original series, where she explores the history and traditions of college basketball; over the past several years, she and best friend Diana Taurasi have hosted their popular ‘alterna-cast’ “The Bird & Taurasi Show” with their coverage of the Women’s Final Four; and Sue Bird: In the Clutch, a documentary on her historic career premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and is currently available on Netflix. At the end of 2022, Sue and her fiancé and soccer legend, Megan Rapinoe, launched A Touch More, a production company focused on promoting narratives around revolutionaries who move culture forward. The company amplifies stories focused on identity, activism and underrepresented groups. Their first TV scripted series, Playing the Field (based off the best-selling novel Cleat Cute) is currently in development. Playing the Field is an ensemble show set in the world of women’s soccer and a contemporary romance that follows a young soccer player as she juggles being the rookie, her goals of making the national team and a budding romance with the team captain.
