Sue Bird net worth: How much is the four-time WNBA champion worth in 2020?

Just 10 days before her 40th birthday, Sue Bird is celebrating her career fourth WNBA title. On Tuesday, Bird became the second-oldest player to win a WNBA title behind Taj McWilliams-Franklin, who was 13 days away from turning 41 when she won with the Minnesota Lynx in 2011.

Injuries may have restricted Bird from playing a bigger role during the regular season, but the Seattle Storm guard made her presence felt during the postseason, helping them win their second WNBA title in three years. Breanna Stewart picked up the WNBA Finals MVP after a blowout 92-59 victory against the Las Vegas Aces on Tuesday in Game 3 of the WNBA Finals.

While Bird has no clue if she will return with her beloved team next season, the 39-year-old said during the postgame interview that she would rather focus on the emotional celebration at the moment. "So I think for me right now, it's a little -- it's almost surreal, shock. I'll be honest, even today preparing for the game, thinking about it, I was getting a little emotional at the thought of potentially winning. I have a feeling it is going to hit later, and for me as an older player, I think it's coming out more emotional than excitement."
