Some future Hall of Famers, like Derek Jeter and Kobe Bryant, announce their impending retirement before or during a season, resulting in a "farewell tour."

Sue Bird did the same in her final season in the WNBA two years ago.

Bird announced in the middle of the 2022 season that she would retire upon that season's end, giving fans and teams alike a chance to bid their farewells to the WNBA legend.

LeBron James, though, recently claimed he was "50-50" on the idea.

Well, Bird says James absolutely should have one.

"When I look back, I still have fond, fond, fond memories. I wouldn't change a thing. I'm so glad I announced when I announced, and I got to experience the farewell tour. And I was actually anti that at one point a couple of years prior, so that was interesting for me to experience it in that way…" Bird said on the Sports Media podcast.

"If I talked to LeBron right now, I'd be like 'Bro, I could not recommend this enough.'"

Bird admitted she was unsure if she wanted all the attention, but she did say she felt she owed it to the fans to appreciate her one final time.
