Katie Lou Samuelson had a pretty good Wednesday night. Not only did the Chicago Sky select the former UConn women’s basketball star No. 4 overall in the WNBA Draft, Samuelson’s favorite player, Boston Celtics legend Larry Bird, surprised her with a congratulatory video.
Here’s a transcript of Bird’s message:
“Congratulations on your amazing high school and college careers, Katie Lou. Your talent and determination will be a great asset to the WNBA and I wish you continued success. Thank you for the honor of wearing No. 33. I can’t wait to see what you will accomplish at the next level.
