A bronze replica of the former Seattle Storm point guard now sits outside of the city's Climate Pledge Arena. Although several other WNBA players have been honored with statues at their colleges, this makes Bird the first WNBA player to have a statue outside of a WNBA arena.

Seattle Storm legend Sue Bird became the first player in WNBA history to be honored with a statue. On Sunday, the team unveiled outside Climate Pledge Arena a statue of Bird shooting a layup in her Storm jersey, immortalizing her in Seattle as one of the all-time greats to suit up in the WNBA.
