- No cellphones, just vibes. 2000 was a defining year for The Greatest Duo. Coming off an NCAA National Championship and looking to secure another, it was sophomore, Sue Bird’s, job to make sure incoming freshman, Diana Taurasi, “had a good time.”
You can be certain they had that and so much more. (The story of when Sue meet Dee for the first time is too funny 😂). Lucky for us all the chemistry was instant, and both hoopers were ready for the next step in their basketball careers: the WNBA.
In this 8-episode series presented by Nike and TOGETHXR, we highlight four pivotal years in the greatest duo’s journey: 1996, 2000, 2016 and 2020, through the lens of Sue Bird and Diana Taurasi.

“You can keep that” LOL
HAHA, I cracked up when I heard that...because that's how it really was in the late 90s early 2000s.
Sue Bird has the prettiest smile
Damn cried a little thinking about being a 7th grade baller in Seattle when Sue joined the storm. Truly incred she has held it down for 20 years! 🏆
Glad we were able to witness these two greats battle it out
Connecticut Girl here. I have followed Sue and Dee since their time at UConn. Amazing players and even more special is their beautiful friendship and love and respect they have for one another. Congrats Sue on your well deserved WNBA retirement. I am sure we all will be shedding tears when Dee announces it's her time to join you.
I Love thier friendship, and the great respect they have for each other as both basketball players and personal friends. Years ago, I met my best friend as she listened to the beach boys at a playground we hung around at, when we were teens, as I was belting out I love the dead by Alice Cooper. Total opposites, yet very much alike in many ways. It's now been almost 50 years since we became friends, and our love and respect for each other, and each others families, especially our respective children, has become a sisterhood. We are still on opposite ends of the court on many issues, but that's what makes our friendship so special. These two ladies remind me so much of the two of us. I am still the maniac, and my best friend is the level headed sensible one. But it works. All I can say is that it's been a pleasure watching these two amazing athletes over the years, and what has always stood out with them is the deep respect and continuous support, they have and will always have for each other both on and off the court. I wish Sue the best and thank her for the many years of a lot of blood sweat and tears, and for what they have BOTH done, and continue to do for today's women's basketball, which is now finally taken more seriously. In fact, it's hard to get seats these days for some games because a lot of games get sold out so fast.
They are both such unique, talented,
amazing athletes who have paved the way for today's young women in women's basketball. Thank God!!!! I Thank you both ladies!!!!❤ Two of the very best!!!!!
Greatest backcourt EVER. There will never be another duo like them. And Basketball will not be the same without them either.
Agree 100%. Also part of the best starting 5 ever in NCAA basketball history in 2002!!!!
“Greatest backcourt ever” 🤣 are you joking? There are about 20 active backcourts in the nba that are better than these two
@@HH__09 If players in the NBA are so important to you why are you even worried ab watching 2 WNBA players on a yt video? 🤨 keep cryin when ppl talk ab how good/relevant they are yet u watching it too 😭
Calm down there are many high schools with better back courts
As of right now that's true. But with this next generation coming in that will likely change.
UCONN is the reason why I started watching women basketball, both of these two women LEGENDARY
UCONN is the reason why I and many others STOPPED watching women's basketball...
Haha I can see both sides of this actually. Some people gravitate towards greatness and dominance and some gravitate towards the underdog
One of the greatest duos ever!!! Thank you Sue and Dee 😎🔥🏀
I ❤️ Nike
I love these little snippets. My favorite duo in women’s basketball!
@Xander Hegle 🥺🎈😀
ok thanks i need these to be like 4 hours long what a great series
Some legends right here
just...greatness... simple!
Basketball won’t be the same without her 🙁
Straight up...Caitlin is a very good player but if you're calling her the greatest of all time, then clesrly you weren't old enough to see either these two play or you weren't paying attention...
AMEN!! Then bring Maya Moore in as well....
FACT.
DT and sue…. 2 of my FAV female athletes EVER
I just went to their last playoff game. That woman is 41 and straight taking players half her age to SCHOOL! The Storm game plan was to give her the ball every break. The Mystic's game plan was to double team her. And that didn't stop her from getting 10 assists, more like 20 because she was setting shit up all game, and nearly 20 points.
Wish this video was longer
The legends and current players deserve more shine and better marketing.
thankful but we need more of this 😃
Classy ladies and amazing athletes!!!
So cool that all these ladies are finally getting the recognition they deserve. Sorry I missed out on all this while it was happening, but still love hearing the wisdom and humor from Sue and DT.
we need 10000000 of these
Love this!!!
sue and dee made me tear up with this one
That backcourt is what made me start watching women’s basketball and made me a UConn fan
oh wait, there's an episode 1!!!!
My grandmother loved this UConn womens team
@Xander Hegle why not?
Way to go you two
Iconic duo Deee D
2000's Coach Auriema looks like 2000's Cody Rhodes
🔥🔥🔥
Awesome.
1:20 lol
Hearing these 2 yap on ESPN over the championship game and downplay what Clark has accomplished was nauseating. Especially Diana
👍👍👍💯💯💯💯❤️
A few hours later 👀
good guys
she just made her first 80 k off the league
Tôi thich
THE TOXIC TWINS
Lobo. Bird. Taurasi. Moore. Stewart. BUECKERS
Какие они красивые!
Смелые,стремительные!Я их люблю и восхищаюсь их талантом!!!
❤ from Ukraine 🇺🇦☮️
They were just as good if not better than Caitlin Clark. That's saying a lot because Clark f#cking special!
I hope Clark makes a billion dollars and wins several championships.

Bonjour nike vous pouvez m'envoyer un umboxing vêtement chaussure etc ma pointure de chaussure c'est 35 ma taille de vêtement c'est du 12 ans s'il vous plaît merci
There's a new Sheriff in town and her name is Caitlin Clark...
😂
I had never heard of either of these players until Caitlin Clark brought me to the wnba
If it were Sue Bird in Russia prison the League & Govt would have her home by now.
Great players but they can't draw new eyes to the sport. Championships don't mean much if no ones watching
Don’t do it! ☑️
Stay off the WEEEEEDUH!!

Nike Trash!!!!!
Who cares 👀
Sue and Dee have made their mark in NCAA and WNBA history. I won’t take that from them.
But both players have lost my respect for handling the social issues around player pay and Caitlin Clark. I am moving on to more positive players.
Sue Dee I love you guys but you got used by politics. Woke was trendy and a safe bet for a long time. But as ambassadors to the game you have to look to keeping everyone “in the game” not just the radical crowd.
I ate my gf’s leftover in n out fries and it taste so stale. So we decided to get some kfc chicken sandwich and it’s actually not good as Burger King.
Get the popeyes spicy sandwich next time, it hits different
@Xander Hegle does that come with cheese?
You know you don't have a GF. Lmaoooo
Thanks for commenting though.
The fact that you said Burger King is better than somewhere else let’s me know you’re “🧢”. Unless you’re a paid Burger King troll..
No one cares
We do😁
And yet, here your are, caring enough to comment on a video that you claim you don't care about.
@Xander Hegle SO
@Xander Hegle 🤪
Yes, you do.
Thanks for boosting this video with your comment! 🥰
BORING and irrelevant.
