Sue Bird Defends the WNBA’s Mid-Range Game

Echoing Daryl Morey's words, Bird argued that the lower rim percentage in the WNBA makes the mid-range shot more valuable. She said, "It's actually not a bad shot." Bird added that it's ridiculous how elite mid-range players like Courtney Williams and Chelsea Gray get criticized for taking them. "I love that she's keeping the mid-range alive," Bird said of Williams.
