Sue Bird Refuses To Give Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese Full Credit For WNBA Surge [View all]

WNBA legend Sue Bird recently spoke out on the league's growth after being questioned about the influence of Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark and Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese.

Bird believes the rise in viewership and popularity has come with time since the league has developed each and every year on and off the court, but she also believes players have evolved.

A player's brand off the court, where women like Reese and Clark show their personality, is important to the WNBA fanbase, according to Bird.

“Sometimes it’s just timing," Bird said. "I think there is a part of it where we have some players now across the board that have personality, they’re showcasing it. I do think younger generations, they push the envelope a little bit."
