Sue Bird Talks Aces Dynasty, WNBA Growth, USA Basketball & Playing Overseas | Ep.11

Basketball legend Sue Bird joins Candace Parker and Aliyah Boston on this week’s episode of Post Moves. The 5x Olympic Gold Medalist, 4x WNBA Champion, and 13x All-Star opens up about life after retirement — from her Hall of Fame induction to balancing two podcasts and now stepping into her newest challenge as the first-ever Managing Director of the USA Basketball Women’s National Team. Sue reflects on the growth of the WNBA, what it really takes to build a dynasty, how difficult it is to sustain success, and what impressed her most about the Las Vegas Aces’ championship run. Plus, she and Candace share stories from their time playing overseas together — and how today’s players are reshaping the game without needing to go abroad. Candace and Aliyah also dive into A’ja Wilson’s dominance, as she makes history as the first player ever to win MVP, DPOY, and Finals MVP in the same season. They break down Becky Hammon's legacy, and celebrate our girl AB being named to the All-WNBA Second Team and All-Defensive Second Team! Check out Sue's podcasts Bird’s Eye View & A Touch More!
