Sue Bird, former Seattle Storm player, called tennis legend Serena Williams a ‘troll’ for her cameo performance in rapper Kendrick Lamar’s half-time show in Super Bowl LIX last Sunday. In a recent episode of her podcast ‘A Touch More’ which she co-hosts along with her partner Megan Rapinoe, Bird spoke about Lamar’s performance, especially referring to his diss track directly aimed at rapper Drake.
While the Drake trolling was certainly entertaining for Bird and Rapinoe, Bird went on to call Williams’ appearance in the performance the greatest troll of all. Rapper Drake and Serena Williams were apparently entwined in a romance back in 2011. However, neither of them officially confirmed their relationship. After Williams married Alexis Ohanian, who is the co-founder of Reddit, Drake has mentioned her in a number of his songs.
Sue Bird Announced As Finalist For Basketball Hall Of Fame
Meanwhile, Sue Bird has been recently announced as a finalist for the Basketball Hall of Fame for the class of 2025. Along with Bird, a number of other WNBA legends, including Maya Moore, Jennifer Azzi, and Sylvia Fowles have been named as finalists. On the men’s side, Carmelo Anthony and Dwight Howard have been announced as finalists.
Sue Bird was the first overall pick in the very first round of the 2002 WNBA draft and played with the Seattle Storm until 2022. Bird is easily considered one of the greatest female basketball players of all time, and even managed to get into basketball operations with the Denver Nuggets in the NBA.
