In The Midst of A’ja Wilson’s Reign, WNBA Legend Supersedes Breanna Stewart in Ultimate Debate

What started at Vegas when a certain Ace publicly displayed her fabulous feats to show her greatness is refusing to die down. A veteran WNBA star recently renewed the debate by picking her GOAT. Sue Bird’s choice is indeed intimate. But the leftout name is gritty about her game, thus making this whole situation a Michael Jordan-LeBron James style discourse.

However, Sue Bird is no novice to offer her two-cents on the WNBA GOAT debate. The Seattle Storm legend played for twenty-one years, and the team recognized her accomplishments. The 43-year-old lately painstakingly addressed the ongoing debate involving Breanna Stewart and A’ja Wilson.

Sue Bird’s GOAT is Ex-colleague

Bird recently received an invitation to record a podcast on her post-retirement plans and the new duties the WNBA has given her. The video was uploaded online and included questions on anything from her production firm to her most memorable career experience. But it was her take on the WNBA GOAT debate that hogged limelight.

The ongoing debate has been very sensitive among the MVP of the Year vs. Finals MVP. Since A’ja Wilson and Breanna Stewart were competing hard for the GOAT status, Sue Bird decided to side up with her former teammate.

Bird was hesitant to answer the question initially, but the interviewer turned it over as the generational player to look upon. Sue Bird responded, “That’s my career story—all the talent I played with and all the talent I played against.” She also says that people always taunt her with the question, and she chose her teammate Breanna Stewart. “Stewie, she is on it,” says Sue Bird.

It all started with MVP

The 2023 WNBA Finals MVP competition was won by A’ja Wilson of the Las Vegas Aces over Breanna Stewart of the New York Liberty. Many believe that Wilson should be overjoyed with her prize haul to make up for losing the regular-season MVP vote to Stewart.

The Aces head coach, Becky Hammon, who has been vocal about the exclusion from its inception, may claim that Wilson should have received the 2023 WNBA MVP award over Stewart in the first place.

Wilson, who was named MVP in 2022, created a name for herself in the final series, helping the Aces upset the Liberty 3-1.
