Bird first debuted in professional basketball with the Seattle Storm after being picked No. 1 overall in the 2002 WNBA Draft. She would spend her entire career with the Storm until her retirement at the conclusion of the 2022 campaign.
After averaging 14.4 points, six assists, and 1.7 steals per game during her first season in the WNBA, she would finish No. 2 in Rookie of the Year voting to future Hall of Famer Tamika Catchings. It was still enough to earn WNBA First Team honors and an All-Star selection that season.
Over the course of her professional basketball career, Bird would amass 13 All-Star nods, eight All-WNBA team selections, and four championships.

Bird has known success for most of her basketball career, but was also faced with adversity shortly after starting her tenure at the University of Connecticut.
Eight games into her freshman year, Bird tore her ACL and lost that year of eligibility, given the number of games played.
She came back in a major way for her sophomore season, leading the Huskies to a 36-1 record that ended with winning the 2000 NCAA Division 1 women's basketball tournament.
The next season ended with a loss in the Final Four, but Bird's senior year at UConn proved to be a precursor for what would turn into a legendary basketball career.
Bird led her school to a 39-0 record to win another championship, the Wade Trophy, the Honda Sports Award, and the Naismith Award, given to the college player of the year.
In this next chapter of her career, Bird will look to continue her basketball success and win another gold medal, but in a different capacity with Team USA. The squad in 2028 may feature past teammates of Bird, as well as many new faces who have been a part of the recent wave of success and star power taking over women's basketball.

Windsor boxer hopes recent national title helps punch path toward 2028 L.A. Olympics
Rosalind 'Soup' Canty says ever since the first few first fights she saw live, she knew she wanted to be a boxer. "I was sitting next to my grandpa, and I was like, 'I need to do this,'" said the now 21-year-old fighter. She's been around the sport her whole life: Both her parents boxed and coached. But fresh off a gold medal at an Under 23 women's national championship in Quebec, Canty says it took quite a long time to convince her dad to allow her to get into the sport. Her mother, Margaret Sidoroff-Canty, won several amateur and professional titles during a short but decorated career in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Her dad, Josh, now serves as one of Rosalind's coaches. "He's the best coach in the world," she told Windsor Morning host Amy Dodge. "I'm just super lucky to have him in my corner because he's as committed to my training as I am," she said. "He said that the only way he was going to train me is if it was for soccer, so he started training me just to get in shape for soccer," she said. "And then I started sparring and I had my first fight April of 2022." She trains out of the Border City Boxing Club in Windsor, Ont., and also works out across the border in Detroit, Mich. WATCH | Rosalind 'Soup' Canty trains in Windsor, Ont.: Canty has 55 fights under her belt in a fairly short period of time. "I've had a lot of fights," in roughly three years, she said. Aside from her recent gold, Canty also recently trained in Montreal with the national team after being carded as one of the top four female fighters of all weight classes in Canada, she says. "I have to go there multiple times to work on my training, get good sparring and get assessed by the national team coaches — [it's] amazing." Now she's eyeing the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics to represent her country. "That's the goal," she said. Canty says her pump up song before a fight is "Around the World" by Daft Punk to "get moving," saying it reminds her of how she felt when she first started watching boxing matches. "Was just so high energy and everyone yelling … was just surreal. It was crazy." According to Canty, like her parents, she makes sure to try and help others out with their training. "I train a bunch of kids at the gym and there's a couple of little girls that really look up to me and I'm in love [with them]." Canty says she got the nickname "Soup" from her dad while growing up playing soccer. She says he used to call her "Super Ras." That was shortened to "Soup" because it was a little too long to yell while she was on the field, and that's now translated into her boxing career. Canty says her next fight will more than likely be later this month as part of a local Border City Boxing Club card. "It's a really nice community, surprisingly, since the sport is literally punching people in the face." Canty says she believes boxing is important for young people, especially girls, because it teaches them how to protect themselves and instills mental confidence. "To not be scared if you're alone out in a dangerous situation," she said. "I think even if you don't want your kid to fight, I think boxing is a skill that most people …should learn. I think it's important."

Pacers' Tyrese Haliburton dealing with lower leg discomfort, not worried about Game 3 availability
INDIANAPOLIS – Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton is feeling 'discomfort' with a 'lower leg thing' but expects to play in Game 3, he said Tuesday. Haliburton was noticeably limping after Indiana lost Game 2 to the Oklahoma City Thunder, 123-107, in which he scored 12 of his team-high 17 points in the fourth quarter. He is not expected to be on the Pacers' injury report for Game 3, because, well, this is the most important set of games he's ever played, and no one on the Pacers is interested in caution right now. Advertisement Game 3 is at 8:30 p.m. Wednesday in Indianapolis, and the series is tied 1-1. Haliburton is averaging 15.5 points, six assists and four turnovers per game and shooting just 33 percent from 3 so far in the series. 'At this time of year, I don't know if anybody's feeling perfect,' Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said. 'So he practiced (Tuesday) and he went through everything. I know he has some discomfort, he feels it, but each day is getting better. I don't think you're going to hear him making a big deal out of it. This is the time of year where it just doesn't get any better than this. 'So we've got a couple guys that are slightly under the weather, but I don't think anything is going to keep these guys from playing in the game.' It was not immediately clear who else Carlisle was referring to, but starting forward Aaron Nesmith (ankle) and backup center Tony Bradley (hip) dealt with injuries earlier in the playoffs. Haliburton missed most of the Eastern Conference finals last year with a hamstring strain and then complained after the Olympics about soreness from the same injury. It was unclear after Game 2 whether Haliburton's injury was to his calf or ankle. All he said about it on Tuesday was, 'It's really just a lower leg thing, I'm gonna leave it at that. I don't think there's anything more to elaborate.' Health aside, outsiders will focus on whether Haliburton can make more of an earlier impact in Game 3. Yes, he hit the game-winning shot in Game 1 to open the series, but finished with just 14 points in that game after scoring six through two quarters. In Game 2, he registered just five points, four assists, three turnovers and seven shots through three quarters. Both Haliburton and Carlisle pointed to the number of big, switchable defenders the Thunder can throw at the Pacers' star – not necessarily as the explanation for Haliburton's slow starts, but just for his lower production so far in this series. Advertisement Oklahoma City, which was the best defensive team during the regular season and holds the same title in the playoffs, has used Luguentz Dort, one of the league's best on-ball defenders, as the primary defender on Haliburton, with help from Cason Wallace, Alex Caruso and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. 'Really, both of our all-stars, they can throw different, bigger, smaller, medium guys at Tyrese and at Pascal (Siakam),' Carlisle said. 'It's one of their strengths. We've gone through these situations many times, not only during the playoffs, but during the regular season, not just this season, but prior seasons. And so we're going to have to adjust and create better situations.' Haliburton, in echoing Carlisle, said, 'I think playing two games against these guys is really good. 'It gives me more film to watch, see where I can be better,' Haliburton said. 'I feel like I haven't been great by any means through the first two games. So I'm just trying to take what I can to prepare me for Game 3. And I'm trying to be the best version of myself. 'So just keep watching film, see if I can get better. The answers always lie in the film.' During the regular season, Haliburton held a nearly 9:1 assist-to-turnover ratio. He has been nowhere near that so far against the Thunder, who have turned the Pacers over at an alarming rate. The Pacers have committed 40 turnovers in two games. 'Some of our turnovers have been so violently bad, the opponent hasn't even had a chance to catch the ball,' Carlisle said, drawing quite a bit of laughter from the room of reporters. 'Tyrese has been historically great with ball security, and this team that we're playing now presents unprecedented challenges,' Carlisle said. 'They've been turning everybody over through the entire playoffs. So look, we're going to have to have really great spatial awareness with everything that we're doing. 'You can't play too careful against Oklahoma or otherwise you'll never get a basket.'

The Fifa Club World Cup, explained: everything you wanted to know about the tournament
Hang on, I thought the World Cup was next year … The 2026 World Cup is what is technically known as the Proper World Cup, for national teams. This summer's tournament is the Club World Cup, featuring some (with the emphasis on 'some') of the world's best domestic teams – Real Madrid, PSG, River Plate and the like. Advertisement Related: David Squires on … Infantino's Club World Cup buildup in the land of Trump Didn't that already exist? It did! Manchester City are technically the holders. But if there's one thing Fifa likes, it's grossly expanded tournaments and the Club World Cup is no exception. Since the tournament started in 2000, it usually featured six or seven teams representing Fifa's various confederations. The teams would turn up, play a few knockout games in half-full stadiums – and the whole thing would be done in around 10 days with very few people remembering who actually won the thing by the time next year's edition came around. Naturally, Fifa decided fans wanted even more of this type of thing and have expanded the tournament: 32 teams will now play 63 games in 11 host cities across the United States over a period of four weeks. Like the most recent World Cup, there will be a group stage with the best two teams from each of the eight groups progressing to the last-16 knockout stage. Right, so the best 32 teams in the world then ... Well … not exactly. With all due respect to Asia, Africa, North America, Central America, the Caribbean and Oceania, the 32 best club teams on Earth are almost certainly in Europe and South America. But this is a World Cup, so the teams are mainly made up of clubs who have won their respective continental championships over the last four years (so, for example, recent winners of the Champions League get in from Europe). Advertisement There are more places for teams from stronger federations such as Europe's Uefa (12 slots) and South America's Conmebol (six slots) than weaker federations (Oceania's OFC gets just one). There are some oddities to the qualifying process though. The US got an extra slot as tournament hosts, meaning their domestic champion from 2024 would qualify. Most fans would say that would be the MLS Cup champion, which is decided after a post-season playoff competition (the 2024 champion was Los Angeles Galaxy). Instead, Fifa decided the team with the best regular-season record would qualify. That just happened to be Inter Miami, led by Lionel Messi, the most famous player in the world. Make of that what you will. Another MLS team made it in slightly circuitous fashion. Fifa rules mean that two clubs with the same ownership can't compete at the tournament. That meant Club Léon were deprived of their slot because another Mexican team at the tournament, Pachuca, are under the same ownership group. That led to a playoff between Los Angeles FC and Club América to decide Léon's replacement, with LAFC winning. And then there is Auckland City. The best two teams in New Zealand, Auckland FC and Wellington Phoenix, play in Australia's A-League, which is part of the Asian Football Confederation. That means Auckland City, as the winner of the OFC Champions League, grabbed the one slot for Oceania. So who is playing? AFC (Asia) Al-Hilal , Saudi Arabia (winners of the 2021 AFC Champions League) Urawa Red Diamonds , Japan (winners of the 2022 AFC Champions League) Al Ain , UAE (winners of the 2023–24 AFC Champions League) Ulsan, South Korea (best-ranked eligible team in the AFC four-year ranking) Caf (Africa) Al -Ahly , Egypt (winners of the 2020–21 Caf Champions League) Wydad , Morocco (winners of the 2021–22 Caf Champions League) Espérance de Tunis , Tunisia (best-ranked eligible team in the Caf four-year ranking) Mamelodi Sundowns, South Africa (second-best ranked eligible team in the Caf four-year ranking) Concacaf (North, Central America, and the Caribbean) Monterrey , Mexico (winners of the 2021 Concacaf Champions League) Seattle Sounders , USA (winners of the 2022 Concacaf Champions League) Pachuca , Mexico (winners of the 2024 Concacaf Champions Cup) Los Angeles FC, USA (winners of play-off match) Conmebol (South America) Palmeiras , Brazil (winners of the 2021 Copa Libertadores) Flamengo , Brazil (winners of the 2022 Copa Libertadores) Fluminense , Brazil (winners of the 2023 Copa Libertadores) Botafogo , Brazil (winners of the 2024 Copa Libertadores) River Plate , Argentina (best-ranked eligible team in the Conmebol four-year ranking) Boca Juniors, Argentina (second-best ranked eligible team in the Conmebol four-year ranking) Uefa (Europe) Chelsea , England (winners of the 2020–21 Uefa Champions League) Real Madrid , Spain (winners of the 2021–22 Uefa Champions League) Manchester City , England (winners of the 2022–23 Uefa Champions League) Bayern Munich , Germany (best-ranked eligible team in the Uefa four-year ranking) Paris Saint-Germain , France (second-best ranked eligible team in the Uefa four-year ranking) Inter nazionale , Italy (fourth-best ranked eligible team in the Uefa four-year ranking) Porto , Portugal (fifth-best ranked eligible team in the Uefa four-year ranking) Benfica , Portugal (seventh-best ranked eligible team in the Uefa four-year ranking) Borussia Dortmund , Germany (Third-best ranked eligible team in the Uefa four-year ranking) Juventus , Italy (Eighth-best ranked eligible team in the Uefa four-year ranking) Atlético Madrid , Spain (Sixth-best ranked eligible team in the Uefa four-year ranking) Red Bull Salzburg, Austria (Ninth-best ranked eligible team in the Uefa four-year ranking) OFC (Oceania) Auckland City, New Zealand (best OFC Champions League winners in the OFC four-year ranking) Host Nation (USA) Inter Miami, USA (winners of the 2024 MLS Supporters' Shield) The players must be excited about playing in a World Cup Playing in the World Cup is the highlight of any player's career. Playing in the Club World Cup? Not so much. Fifpro, the global players' union, said adding another month to an already crowded calendar is a health risk. Consider this: a top player in Europe will face having almost no rest in the summer for three consecutive years if they end up playing at Euro 2024, the 2025 Club World Cup and the 2026 World Cup. Oh, and the latter two tournaments will be played in the hottest months in the US as global heating makes conditions a lot tougher. What kind of prize money is involved? Quite a lot. The total prize pool for the tournament is $1bn. Yes, with a B. Just over half of that total goes to the clubs just for being there, and different teams have received differently-sized payouts for their participation, depending on where they hail from. Advertisement Oceania's representative gets $3.58m just for showing up. African, Asian, and North American clubs $9.55m. South American sides get $15.21m, while European teams will get anywhere from $12.81m to $38.19m, depending on what Fifa calls 'sporting and commercial criteria' (in other words: how famous and good they are). The remaining $425m is distributed based on performance in the tournament. Teams earn $2m for a win and $1m for a draw in the group stage, $7.5m for making the round of 16, $13.1m for making a quarter-final, $21m for making a semi-final, $30m for making the final, and another $40m for winning the whole dang thing. It should be noted that the prize money mentioned above is awarded to the teams, not the players. Different teams will distribute the winnings to players differently according to a number of factors, but that doesn't mean players are happy with that arrangement. In MLS, there is an ongoing dispute between the players and the league over a cap on bonuses that would limit each MLS locker room from receiving more than $1m for the tournament, no matter how well they do. The two sides are currently trading proposals, but the tenor of negotiations hasn't been all that friendly. Manchester City, for their part, has been public about not sharing prizes with their players: 'Not even a watch,' said Pep Guardiola. Is there a Trump factor to look out for? Many see this tournament as a test run for the US's co-hosting of next year's World Cup, and the results are already … mixed. Donald Trump has issued a travel ban relating to citizens of a number of countries. Athletes participating in the 2026 World Cup and 2028 Los Angeles Olympics are exempt from the ban, but it's still unclear whether that applies to players at the Club World Cup. Gianni Infantino, the Fifa president, met Trump in the White House in March when they unveiled the new Club World Cup trophy. Trump could completely ignore the tournament, decide to use it as an excuse for self-promotion – as he has with other sports events such as the Super Bowl – or turn on Fifa for a perceived slight. Say one thing for the man: he's not easy to predict. What are the venues? Rose Bowl – Pasadena, California (Capacity: 88,500). Will host group stage and last-16 matches. Historic stadium that is renowned for hosting many college (gridiron) football games and the 1994 and 1999 World Cup finals. Advertisement MetLife Stadium – East Rutherford, New Jersey (Capacity: 82,500). Will host group stage matches, quarter-final, both semi-finals and final. This is the everyday home of the NFL's New York Giants and Jets, and will be hosting the 2026 World Cup final. Mercedes-Benz Stadium – Atlanta, Georgia (Capacity: 75,000). Will host group-stage and last-16 matches as well as a quarter-final. The everyday home of the NFL's Atlanta Falcons and Atlanta United of MLS. Bank of America Stadium – Charlotte, North Carolina (Capacity: 75,000). Will host group-stage and last-16 matches. The usual home of the NFL's Carolina Panthers and Charlotte FC of MLS. Lincoln Financial Field – Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (Capacity: 69,000). Will host group-stage and last-16 matches as well as a quarter-final. The usual home of the Philalphia Eagles of the NFL. Advertisement Lumen Field – Seattle, Washington (Capacity: 69,000). Will host group-stage matches. The usual home for the NFL's Seattle Seahawks, MLS's Seattle Sounders, and the NWSL's Reign FC. Hard Rock Stadium – Miami Gardens, Florida (Capacity: 65,000). Will host group-stage and last-16 matches. The usual home of the NFL's Miami Dolphins. Camping World Stadium – Orlando, Florida (Capacity: 65,000). Will host group-stage and last-16 matches as well as a quarter-final. Formerly known as the Citrus Bowl, it's hosted a number of major college gridiron football and in a previous live, games during the 1994 World Cup. Geodis Park – Nashville, Tennessee (Capacity: 30,000). Group-stage matches. This is the home stadium of MLS side Nashville SC, opened in 2022. Advertisement TQL Stadium – Cincinnati, Ohio (Capacity: 26,000). Group-stage matches. This is the home stadium of MLS side FC Cincinnati, opened in 2021. Inter&Co Stadium – Orlando, Florida (Capacity: 25,000). Group-stage matches. The home venue for MLS side Orlando City, opened in 2017. Audi Field – Washington, D.C. (Capacity: 20,000). Group-stage matches. The home venue of MLS side DC United, opened in 2018. Will anyone watch? The early signs are not great. Consider the tournament's opening match, between Inter Miami and Al Alhy. Miami are playing in their own city and have one of the greatest players of all time, and yet the match is struggling to sell out with The Athletic reporting that only around 20,000 tickets for the 65,000 capacity Hard Rock Stadium have been sold. If Miami are struggling to sell tickets then it's worth wondering how many people are going to turn up for Wydad v Al Ain. Having said that, there is huge interest in European giants such as Real Madrid and Chelsea and their games should attract big crowds. 10 players to keep an eye on Kylian Mbappé, Real Madrid – Heard of him? The French superstar is facing some degree of questioning after his first season in the Spanish capital ended with no major titles. Would a Club World Cup alleviate those doubts? Advertisement Ousmane Dembélé, PSG – The forward was instrumental in helping PSG capture their coveted Champions League title in May, and he'll presumably continue to be centre to the European champions' plans in the USA. Lionel Messi, Inter Miami – The Argentinian superstar has a World Cup to his name…can he add a Club World Cup to that list? Realistically, it may be a tough ask with this Miami team, even with the help of Jordi Alba, Sergio Busquets, and Luis Suárez. But it'll be fun to watch him in a tournament setting again. Omar Marmoush, Manchester City – The Egyptian made a big impact since joining City in January from Eintracht Frankfurt, scoring eight goals in all competitions including a memorable thunderbolt v Bournemouth. Cole Palmer, Chelsea – Palmer ended his season in great form, even though his overall campaign left something to be desired. The England international leads a Chelsea team stocked with young talent. Advertisement Denis Bouanga, LAFC – The Gabon international near-singlehandedly dragged LAFC into the tournament with a sublime performance in the one-game play-in versus Club América. Bouanga has long been one of MLS's most dangerous attackers, and it will be interesting to see him bring it against international competition. Franco Mastantuono, River Plate (for now) – The 17-year-old Mastantuono is seen as one of the brightest up-and-coming talents in Argentina, so much so that he became the youngest-ever debutant for the Argentine national team last week. Real Madrid and River Plate are currently locked in transfer talks according to multiple reports – the only question now is if he'll stay with his current side through the Club World Cup, or move earlier. Thomas Müller, Bayern Munich – the 35-year-old had already bid goodbye to his home fans, but the Club World Cup will be his last competition in a Bayern Munich shirt. The wily forward will want to go out on another high note, after helping Bayern to another Bundesliga title. Weston McKennie, Juventus – Playing in his home country for the first time in competitive club matches, there's almost no telling what role McKennie will play for Juventus. The US international has played in just about every midfield spot and even occasionally at wingback in what was a disappointing season for Juve, which they'll hope to put behind them with a solid showing. Advertisement Estêvão, Palmeiras – The 18-year-old forward, like Mastantuono, is one of his country's brightest young stars. He's already earned four senior caps for Brazil and has 13 goals with 12 assists to his name in Brazil's Serie A. He has agreed to join Chelsea in a transfer after the tournament, so this will be his last chance to make a mark before moving abroad. Who's going to win? So much will depend on how seriously the clubs take the tournament, and which among them are the freshest after a long European season. PSG are a decent bet, given their demolition of Inter in the Champions League final and their collection of young talent that is willing to work. Real Madrid, of course, can never be counted out in a tournament setting, and Trent Alexander-Arnold will be looking to impress in his first actions for his new club. Manchester City closed a disappointing Premier League season in great form. Is there a chance an outside contender, like Porto, or River Plate, Boca Juniors, or Flamengo could take it? Sure. But given the other sides involved, it's hard to be all that confident. When are the games and where can I watch? Every game is streamed worldwide in multiple languages on Dazn. You can also follow along on the Guardian – we'll be live-blogging select games throughout the tournament and have writers on the ground all the way until the final.
