Bird also ranks in the Top 10 in the WNBA's all-time scoring list with 6,803 career points. On Thursday, however, the 44-year-old lost her previous spot on the esteemed list as former WNBA MVP Nneka Ogwumike rewrote the history books.

The Seattle Storm will unveil a statue of former franchise star Sue Bird on August 17, making the four-time champion the first player to be honored with their own statue by a WNBA franchise.

The Storm announced Wednesday that a statue honoring Bird will be unveiled outside of Climate Pledge Arena at 10 a.m. on Sunday, Aug. 17, before the Seattle plays the Phoenix Mercury. The franchise is the first in WNBA history to dedicate a statue to a former player.
