Margo Dydek – 7’2″ – Basketball

There’s no arguing about how big Margo Dydek is since she’s officially the tallest professional female basketball player ever. She started her career in her birth country of Poland before signing with the WNBA‘s Utah Starzz. In the US, Dydek took advantage of being a tall 7’2” to become the all-time WNBA blocks leader.

The impressive Dydek, who was a two-time WNBA all-star, later took a job as a coach in the Queensland Basketball League. However, she died tragically in 2011 at only 37 years old. She suffered a heart attack while pregnant with her third child.
