Four years ago, after bringing the WNBA championship trophy to Seattle, Sue Bird and Lauren Jackson appeared on the cusp of a lengthy run atop the league. They were talented, experienced and, most important, young enough to create a long-standing championship contender every year in Seattle. Three years, and three first-round playoff exits later, the Storm looks very little like that title team, except for Bird and Jackson, the reigning league MVP. In place now is a star-studded roster of Olympians and All-Stars, constructed with the belief that egos and credentials can be set aside and “The Perfect Storm” — as the team’s marketing gurus are promoting — can bring another championship to Seattle.
