Extending Love for Ex-Teammate After Sharing Emotional Moment, Sue Bird Credits 3x WNBA Champion for Stepping Up in Finals

Sue Bird has been very vocal when it comes to showing support for the Aces.

I’ll be talking her up right now. I’ll be trying to run some stuff through her. She’s been to the Finals, she knows what it takes. She’s capable.”

Sue Bird has been following Alysha Clark very closely both on and off the court. Recently, she posted a story about Alysha dedicating her WNBA title to her late father. This sweet gesture was well applauded by the fans.
