If Sue Bird were still playing in the WNBA, there’s one team and, more specifically, one player she would not want to see in the playoffs: the Indiana Fever and first overall pick Caitlin Clark.

The four-time WNBA champion and 13-time All-Star offered a warning to other teams in the league during a recent episode of her podcast with Megan Rapinoe, "A Touch More," saying that Clark’s dominance in her rookie year makes her a big threat in the playoffs.

"What I’ve learned in my WNBA experience is pace of play trumps physicality, it trumps size, it can trump experience," she began.

"In 2018 and 2020, the years we won, that was our whole mantra – pace, pace, pace, pace. And what I see in Caitlin, what I see in Kelsey Mitchell, they’re just ramming it down people’s throats. And it’s really hard – it can have your head spinning." 

Bird said that Clark continues to impress this season, and it's not something she expects to see trail off any time soon. 

"She’s gonna break records nonstop for the next couple of years. It’s just going to be a constant record break."

But just as she predicts that Clark will continue to grow, Bird said that players in the league should expect the same.
