What’s next for Sue Bird after this season? jon_wertheim sat down with her to discuss her career, the WNBA’s evolution and the future of women’s basketball
: I get Jen Azzi’d every now and then. And I’ve talked to her. I think she gets Sue Bird’d every now and then.JW: You’re a teenage girl and you’re seeing someone, ‘She looks like me, she plays the same position.’ What does that do to you?: Oh, I think it’s life-changing. And it doesn’t even have to be somebody that looks exactly like you. But it’s so powerful. … I love sports. I was now starting to choose basketball as my path.
And then the other thing that’s happening is we’re just naturally getting compared to our male counterpart. It’s like if you take boxing, for example, right? You have the heavyweights. And the heavyweights compete against the heavyweights. And everybody respects when Mike Tyson is going out there and beating everybody.
I have so much respect for NBA players. I know, as a basketball player, what goes into it. And I know that I can’t dunk and I can’t do those things. But that’s just a physical thing. That’s just what it is, genetically, hormones and stuff. So I don’t feel the need to compare in those ways. I can look at men’s basketball and appreciate it. I can look at women’s basketball and appreciate it. And I just think a lot of people get caught up in the comparison. And that’s what happens.
