This was one of the greatest basketball series I have ever seen men or women. I mean this was just legendary... Sue Bird vs Diana Taurasi. I wish this was the finals. Every game was just insane.
Sue Bird = GOAT. She probably had the most clutch performance of her life in that fourth quarter, and doing it with a broken nose. Holy shit, what a warrior.
Now this is a game. Damn I dunno what others are smoking but the WNBA has always been fun to watch. People just want flare and hype but I'm the type of fan who enjoys even the most basic kind of basketball. Awesome job by both teams.
As much as i agree that they got skills, in the end professional basketball is an entertainment industry. And most people are entertained by flare, hype, and dunks. I truly believe if WNBA wants to have the same success as NBA they should lower the rim to allow for dunks. While this may mess up their layups and shooting, they are professionals and I believe they will be able to adjust quickly.
Not all games are like this though, in the NBA you regularly always get good competition entertaining competitions even for the bad teams but in the wnba you will only get this type of showing by the best of the best teams playing
This series SHOULD have been the Finals as both squads played amazingly. I was at both Phoenix home games and it was just as thrilling in person. That run of Sue’s in the 4th of game 5 is why she will go down as one of the all time greats....even as a Mercury fan I’ll give credit where credit is due.
Battle of the Uconns and what a battle it was....one for the ages! Congrats to Sue and The Storm and we'll see you next post-season! Mercury hang your heads high you did great and took it to the last possible game! Don't believe the doubters the WNBA is still great!
So a repeat of Seattle Sonics 1979. They had to beat Phoenix in an elimination game at home to win the Western Conference, then beat Washington 4-1, winning the title at DC. The Seattle Storm did the same this year, to the same opposing municipalities (except the final was 3-0 rather than 4-1).
I still like rewatching these from time to time. I'd like them a lot more if they hadn't had to let Clark, Howard, and Whitcomb go considering how they figured prominently in this great game.
Watched it again and I'm sorry but when this many Huskies play and on opposite teams to boot, I don't care who wins, I'm happy for them all. Uconn can put out some players in the WNBA! D3, Sue, Breanna, Maya, Tina, Lobo.....Vols too. Makes me miss that UT/UConn rivalry even more.
I was in ymca once and everyone knows they're levels to court cred. You are good, others amazing, then some people come in like near pro statues and this one college girl came in with her dad/coach and she was DRILLING every single shot like it was nothing. I'm sure she'll be in WNBA someday
Sue Bird= Hall of famer and suck it Phoenix go home hahahahaha!! What a series and sooo glad seattle won it and deserved it!! Best of luck to them in the finals hope they win it ✊!!! Sue Bird got the last laugh again
@@advvit7773 I do not believe in luck! Just God 🌞 I am different Me! Ms. 🐦 are around the same age group, I like UConn women basketball they win everything; plus, she's kinda cute two 👼 Me!

As a former D1 player and HS coach, it's tough to watch WNBA. About the level of good male HS players except the shooting, they can shoot a set shot very well.
Here to see what the wnba is about to be honest exactly what I expected don't get me wrong they would certainly woop my ass on a court but u can't demand NBa money and not be NBA caliber and to be honest it's a supply and demand thing not a woman thing if they we were talking about about two accounts etc and there was a wage gap then I'm on board
@@TN-ro1zh thts the thing they do get paid what they deserve WNBA doesn't generate what the nba does they aren't selling merchandise shoes etc if women supported them the same way men support NBA or any sport for that matter they would be on par with male sports
@@TN-ro1zh NBA gives you guys 25 million a year. 250k contracts would mean you guys spend all 25 million on payment. How about coaches? Announcers? Rent? Travel? You guys gonna book your own flights and chip in on an arena? Its wishful thinking. But it wont happen. The whole WNBA youtube channel gets less views than guys building batteries. 110k a year is more than majority of the country makes. You sound super stupid. If they increase salaries that much they gotta cut the league down to 3 teams.
Why do u have so much disrespect for the WNBA? There is no way your freshman high school basketball team is as good as the WNBA. I’m not even that much of a WNBA fan, but that’s just wrong.

Facts!
Sure
Sue Bird = GOAT. She probably had the most clutch performance of her life in that fourth quarter, and doing it with a broken nose. Holy shit, what a warrior.
This may sound old school, but I used to play with Sue Bird at Syosset Park - she's the best!!!

High school basketball is more entertaining

She has a great mask game like the likes of Kobe and Bron
Get goosebumps when I watch this. One of the Best Games Ever Played in the W. Instant Classic.
Sue Bird played her butt off, congrats Seattle storm advance to the finals of #wnba and next time Phoenix mercury
One of the best basketball games I've ever seen...............and I've seen a lot of games over the years. Great crowd too at Key Arena.
That building was going wild like non other!!! Man our city got the best fans in the world!!!
Bird went off! We need an interview about this 4th quarter.🤷🏾♀️
There is nobody greater than the Bird.
That is a fact.
I love you ,Sue!😉
S BIrd AWESOME PLAYER , WHAT A TEAM. 😘😘😘😘😘👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍
Bird vs. Taurasi reminds me of Brady vs. Manning in the NFL. Two competitive players that love the game of basketball 🏀.
Battle of the Uconns and what a battle it was....one for the ages! Congrats to Sue and The Storm and we'll see you next post-season! Mercury hang your heads high you did great and took it to the last possible game! Don't believe the doubters the WNBA is still great!

Sue bird is a legend
just insane to watch. sue bird is so crazy good
due favolose giocatrici Bird Sue e Diana
I stopped watching the wnba when Catchings retired but this was entertaining. Definitely tuning in to the finals
that 4th quarter performance by her was just EPIC, I was in awe back then
one of the best wnba game
What a match to watch... the sue bird vs the diana tarausi
That play by play guy was ON.

6:30 was a beautiful transition play.
This storm team was ridiculous
Griner is basically the shaq of WNBA

This is probably the only WNBA game I’ve enjoyed watching
You should start watching the Lynx. Now THAT is a team you'll love.
Sue Bird= Hall of famer and suck it Phoenix go home hahahahaha!! What a series and sooo glad seattle won it and deserved it!! Best of luck to them in the finals hope they win it ✊!!! Sue Bird got the last laugh again

so Britney is way over 6'9
How du even get to 6'0
brittny is a man
Who's her in 2024 after Sue Bird's retirement?
Hello good have nice day at good game basketball bird sue love two meet you beautiful lady send pictures of myself ok 🏀🏀👍🥰
Yo 🤔 I’m 😍 ❤️ 💗
All they do is shoot set shots and layups..not exciting.
I found it exhilarating. And even if it were what you said, it's still beautiful shooting and phenomenal touch. The skill is super high.

The lying millisecond erroneously lie because beetle contrastingly remind over a polite kilometer. meaty, fretful scale
Sue bird is good but against lebron there is no chance in hell she could beat him so idk why a lot of people say sue is better then lebron like wtf?😂
Tbh some of those are the ugliest jump shots I’ve ever seen.
I've noticed that also. The shots do go in but a lot of them have really bad form.
It seems like wnba Players shoot the ball from their chest to compensate for their lack of strength
Tiana N yeah lmao 😂
@@TN-ro1zh you named 2 male players. We named a whole league.
Wavy GLXY if it ain’t broke don’t fix it 🤷🏾♀️
not bad almost as good as my highschool's freshman basketball team
Not bad, you sound almost as smart as my 5 year old cousin.
not even your 5 year old cousin would watch the wnba
