The Tallest of the Bunch

The first thing to catch our eye is Polish athlete Margo Dydek, who stands at a surprising 7-foot-2. Guess that makes her the tallest woman on this list. And considering how most basketballers stand several heads above everyone else, the fact that these women have to look up at her says a whole lot.

Dydek put her name on the map after she was drafted first overall in the 1998 WNBA draft, and she’s received countless records for her impeccable plays. In 2019, Dydek was inducted into the FIBA Hall of Fame as a pointer to her exceptional skills as a professional basketball player.
