I remember vividly seeing her in a club in SLC after the Rocky Mountain Revue. There were tons of giant people there that night but she was even taller than 99% of the male ballers. Seemed like a nice lady. Sad to hear she passed. R.I.P.

Yeah, she seemed like a really nice person.

I think I read she was the third tallest woman in the world, at least during the time she was playing in the WNBA.

For the record, she used to slam-dunk the ball with ease before games.
