After she hung up her boots, Sue Bird occupied the front office for Denver Nuggets. The 4x WNBA champion had an ESPN megacast with her peer – the Phoenix Mercury star Diana Taurasi. FIBA also named her the global ambassador for the 2026 Women’s Basketball World Cup to be hosted in Berlin. The former Seattle Storm star has left a three-decade-old career in which she brought home the Olympic gold medal five times and the World Championship gold four times. But post her retirement at the end of the 2022 WNBA season, her off-court endeavors shone a different spotlight on her.  

Bird was lately invited to do a podcast on her life after retirement and the roles she is taking on by the WNBA. The video was posted online and had questions ranging from her memorable career moment to her production company, and the change that is coming in women’s sports these days. The 43-year-old answered all questions patiently and had fans and aspiring athletes listening to her closely so that they could extract the best for themselves.
