FILE - Seattle Storm guard Sue Bird (10) directs teammates during the second half of a WNBA game against the Las Vegas Aces, Sunday, Aug. 14, 2022, in Las Vegas. When opponents and teammates alike read off the skills that have separated Sue Bird into being one of the best, her mind and the way she sees the game is at the top of the list. That skill of being a coach on the court will be tested when the fourth-seeded Seattle Storm face No. 1 seed Las Vegas in the WNBA semifinals.(AP Photo/Sam Morris, File)
