Savoring 'The Final Year' of the Seattle G.O.A.T

This year is the last time Sue Bird will be playing for the only WNBA team she's played for. I'm glad that after the gap years of not watching any Storm basketball due to already working, losing access to WNBA on local television, not having thought of the WNBA League pass because I thought I could not afford it, etc. I felt I was given a one final chance to see her play.

With us still working from home, saw one of my newly formed friends online posted that the WNBA was only $12 or something like that, I felt like now is the right time with all the resources of whatever kind that I have now, I made sure to grab that one last opportunity because if there's one thing I would not like to happen again was I wouldn't be able to give myself a chance to savor the final games watching your favorite player play on the court.

Not being able to do this to Tony Parker (my favorite NBA Player), the way I wanted it to happen by watching his last games in a Charlotte Hornet jersey, and only for him to announce on the media that he's going to finally retire make you come unprepared for it. It was too late since I felt like League Pass was so expensive to pay for a month nevertheless for the whole season, add into that that the TV Cable we have right now suddenly cut their contract with NBA Premium and switching to another TV Cable that provides that was not even worth the price.

But with Sue Bird announcing her final year, our company is still on a full-time work-from-home set-up, I'm still working on a mid-shift where it allows me to focus were the perfect storm for me to watch all the games I could possibly watch before she eventually retire - for good.

With less than 10 games into the WNBA regular season and 3 games that are slotted on a midnight to dawn time. I just hope... I just hope that I would have enough will to actually wake up on this and here's hoping that they allow us to watch the games even if they are nationally televised. Because what's the use of subscribing to WNBA app if you can't watch the games anyway, right?

So here it is, savoring the final year, bought Sue Bird's panini card (believe me when I say her panini card was most expensive one compared to the other panini cards of NBA players that I bought - and being more financially stable and not worrying of blowing huge amount of money, it is so worth it as your remembrance too), and also a shirt which I don't know where it was placed after I asked them to wash it.

And oh, I really hope they make it in the playoffs which means more chances to see Sue Bird play!
