Watch: Sue Bird had priceless reaction to learning mom of Storm teammate is her age

Sue Bird has been around for so long that she’s literally as old as her teammate’s mom now.

40-year-old Sue Bird may be the WNBA’s oldest player but just don’t tell her she’s as old as her teammate’s mother.

Bird finding out she is the same age as her Seattle Storm teammate, Kiki Herbert left the future Hall of Famer with a priceless reaction.

Herbert’s mother Michelle was even born on the same day as Bird.

40-year-old Sue Bird still changing the game

Earlier in the media availability, Bird rightly suggests she and the likes of Diana Taurasi, LeBron James and Tom Brady are changing the game in terms of athlete longevity.

She has been the oldest active player in the WNBA for several seasons. We suppose that’s bound to happen when you’ve been around for almost three-quarters of the league’s history.

Bird has suited up for more WNBA games than any other player. She has four championships with the Seattle Storm, including the most recent title.

Now in her 18th WNBA season – 20th if you count the two she was out with injury – Bird’s not playing like she’s 40. She was quickly splashing buckets and dropping dimes in the Storms season opener today against the Las Vegas Aces.

In the game’s first quarter, Bird surpassed Los Angeles Sparks legend Lisa Leslie to move into the seventh spot on the WNBA’s all-time scoring list.

She continues to add to her career assists record, too. She has a lead of more than 900 assists above the next highest total amongst active players (Taurasi).

Bird may be the WNBA’s oldest player, but she’s not done yet.
