NEW YORK -- Sue Bird is thrilled for a chance to show off Seattle.The Emerald City will host the WNBA All-Star Game next year for the first time, the league announced Wednesday.Im really excited as a player whos been here her whole career, Bird said in a phone interview with The Associated Press. Really excited for the fans and for the city. This is a franchise thats seen it all: No. 1 picks, championships, missed playoff runs, disappointing playoff runs. Its time to see an All-Star Game.The game will take place on July 22.Historically, the All-Star Game has highlighted the absolute best in our world-class players -- from Lisa Leslies dunk, to Shoni Schimmels otherworldly performance as a rookie, to the record-setting scoring efforts of Candace Parker in 2013 and Maya Moore in 2015 -- and this time should only bring more excitement and moments for all to enjoy, WNBA president Lisa Borders said.The league didnt have an All-Star Game last season because of the Olympics. The midseason showcase has been held out west only twice, both times in Phoenix, most recently in 2014.The 2015 All-Star Game was held in Connecticut. The West beat the East 117-112 as Maya Moore of the Minnesota Lynx scored a game-record 30 points.I think Seattle is a sports town, Bird said. Yes, we could talk about womens basketball with the Pac-12 tournament and what the Storm has done. It extends to all sports. This is a city that loves sports and deserving of the All-Star Game.While the league didnt say whether there would be additions like a 3-point shootout or other events, Bird was in favor of adding more to the weekend than just the game.I would love for the 3-point contest to come back, the veteran guard said.The WNBA will begin its 21st season on May 13 with three games.---Follow Doug on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/dougfeinberg Jace Sternberger Jersey .
