Longtime Seattle Storm point guard Sue Bird, who already had her jersey retired and a street in Seattle named after her, had a statue erected in her honor outside Climage Pledge Arena on Sunday morning.

In a ceremony before Seattle hosted the Phoenix Mercury on Sunday, legendary former Storm guard Sue Bird, who led the franchise to four WNBA championships, became the first WNBA player honored with a statue outside a WNBA arena.

Sue Bird's legacy in Seattle has been cast in bronze. The Seattle Storm unveiled a statue of Bird outside of Climate Pledge Arena, securing a spot for the franchise legend outside her former stomping grounds.
