Sue Bird at UConn
You know how Sue Bird hits those big, game-winning shots? Like in the second video here. And in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals. And Game 1 of the Finals.
Well, it turns out that this isn't a new thing with her. She's been doing since she was a college student: Here she is, making the game-winning basket at the 2001 Big East Title game. And if that wasn't enough, she also made a crazy half-court shot at the end of the first half in the same game.
Her game-winning shot against Notre Dame gives a new book its title: "Bird at the Buzzer: UConn, Notre Dame, and a Women's Basketball Classic". (It won't come out until next spring -- boo, hiss!)
P.S. In the half-court shot video, you can see Diana Taurasi (#3) and Swin Cash (#32) as they head for the locker room.
