Description

On the season finale, WNBA superstar Sue Bird breaks down her blockbuster rookie year, her time playing in Russia, and her 16 seasons with the Seattle Storm. Sue Bird got her start playing ball at Christ of King High School in New York then for the Uconn Huskies, where she ranked first in three-point field goal percentage and free throw percentage, and named the top College point guard in the country three times. After leading Uconn to a record of 114–4 and clinching two NCAA Championships, Sue was drafted by the Seattle Storm as the first overall pick in the 2002 WNBA Draft. Since then, she’s won three WNBA championships, four Olympic gold medals, and four FIBA World Cups. She currently holds a front office position for the NBA's Denver Nuggets as their Basketball Operations Associate. Host: Jared Jeffries Executive Producers: Eric Pankowski, Chris Colbert, & Adell Coleman Producer: Ryan Woodhall Talent Booking Team: Lori Teig Distribution: DCP Entertainment Special Thanks: TNS Production Studios

Every Hall of Famer has experienced it. Every MVP has gone through it. Every All-Star has endured it. It is a unifying experience amongst all professional athletes. The perennial superstars and the ones that never were. For some, it is a memory they hold dear and remember with great nostalgia. For others, it was a horror show they would love to forget. But for every single professional athlete, it is the one thing they all have in common...ROOKIE YEAR! The rookie year is the great equalizer in professional sports. The NBA lottery pick is still sitting in the worst seat on the plane and bus. The #1 pick in the NFL draft still has to deal with veterans hazing the hell out of them. And the superstar wunderkind in baseball still has to carry a shit-ton of equipment. In this focused, funny, insightful and revealing podcast, the listener gets to take a trip down memory lane to that formative experience of a professional athlete’s rookie season.
