Excerpt: See Honors and Awards below for further details Lindsay Corine Taylor (born May 20, 1981 in Poway, California) is an American professional basketball player and former college player who has played in the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA), Ligue Féminine de Basketball (LFB), the WKBL and the Polish Women's League. In the WNBA she played for four teams: the Houston Comets, Phoenix Mercury, Seattle Storm and the Washington Mystics. The last two of her terms in the WNBA were brief, with the second lasting one week. In the WKBL, Taylor played for the Turkish team Botasspor Adana on two separate occasions, 2006 and 2007. In contrast to her short tenures in the WNBA, Taylor has enjoyed far greater success in Europe, especially in the Polish Women's League, where she has achieved a level of recognition comparable to that of Lisa Leslie in the WNBA. Taylor finished her first season with the highest number of points scored, and her overall evaluation was the highest in the league. She was also awarded Center of the Year and earned a place on the 1st Team, All-Imports Team and the All-Defensive Team. Taylor is well known for her 6 ft and 8 in (2.03 m) frame. This has made her the tallest player in the history of UC Santa Barbara women's basketball, and she is one of five players, including Allyssa DeHaan, Katie Feenstra, Zheng Haixia and Maria Stepanova, who have tied for second tallest person to ever play in the WNBA. Only Margo Dydek, at 7 ft 2 in (2.18 m), is taller than Taylor. Off the court, Taylor is known for her unassuming ways and sense of humor. Lindsay Corine Taylor was born on May 20, 1981 in Poway, California, the daughter of Catherine and Bill Taylor. Taylor comes from a family of above-average height: her father is 6 ft 11in.
