Malgorzata Dydek was born on April 28, 1974, in Warsaw, Poland. She is a retired professional basketball player who was once the tallest woman in the world. At 7 feet 2 inches (2.18 m), she was the tallest player in WNBA history. Dydek played for several teams throughout her career but is most remembered for her time with the Connecticut Sun.

Dydek’s height was both a blessing and a curse throughout her life. She always stood out and was often teased as a child. But her height also allowed her to pursue a career in basketball, which she excelled at from an early age. Dydek began playing organized basketball when she was just 13 years old and by 16, she was already 6 feet 8 inches (2.03 m) tall and playing for Poland’s junior national team.
