Bird also ranks in the Top 10 in the WNBA's all-time scoring list with 6,803 career points. On Thursday, however, the 44-year-old lost her previous spot on the esteemed list as former WNBA MVP Nneka Ogwumike rewrote the history books.

Sue Bird's playing days are long gone, but she's dominating the headlines in the WNBA this Wednesday. Bird spent her entire WNBA career with the Seattle Storm, averaging 11.7 points and 5.6 assists per game.

It didn't take long for Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark (who has made her adoration of Bird extremely clear over the years) to respond to this news, as she made an Instagram story post on Wednesday that reposted a graphic by @espnW and simply wrote, "duh @sbird10".
