      SEATTLE -- Everyone already knows the player who will get the loudest cheers at Saturday's WNBA All-Star Game (ABC, 3:30 p.m. ET): Storm guard Sue Bird.

      Bird is an All-Star for the 10th time and has been in Seattle for 15 seasons. No one with the Storm organization has been around the franchise longer than Bird.

      And there are plenty of fans who've been there with her pretty much all the way. Take brothers Jake and Duncan Gallagher, 14 and 12, respectively, whose parents, Bill and Jill, are longtime Storm season-ticket holders who have photos of Bird cradling both boys as infants.

      "She's played a really big part in my life as a sports fan," Jake said, "and she's a cool person, too."
