Being exceedingly tall is a huge asset in basketball and the average WNBA (Women’s National Basketball Association) player stands at 5 feet 9 inches. Some of its current stars, like Bernadett Határ are counted among the tallest WNBA players in history. Founded in 1996, the WNBA has come a long way; the professional basketball league currently features twelve teams and is the world’s largest women’s professional basketball league.
While a lot still needs to be done for it to measure up with its male counterpart, the National Basketball Association (NBA), it’d be mischievous to deny the recognition the WNBA has been getting in recent years. Throughout its 28 years of existence, the league has evolved for good as much as it has shown people around the world some of the tallest women they have ever seen.
