  • 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), Turkish Women's Basketball League, Ligue Féminine de Basketball (LFB), the WKBL, Polish Women's League, and the Women's Chinese Basketball Assocation (WCBA). Currently she plays in the Ligue Féminine de Basketball, on the Nantes-Rezé team for a second time. In the WNBA she has 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 only a week. 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 in the Polish Women's League 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 renowned for her 6 ft and 8 in (2.03 m) height, making her one of the tallest female athletes in the world. This has also made her the tallest player in the history of UC Santa Barbara women's basketball, and she is one of five players, including Liz Cambage, Katie Feenstra, Zheng Haixia and Maria Stepanova, who have tied for the second tallest person to ever play in the WNBA. The only player surpassing Taylor is the late Margo Dydek, at 7 ft 2 in (2.18 m). Criticism has been expressed and doubts raised over Taylor's ability to be an effective center: the Washington Post criticised her and commented that she "cannot control her size" and that she often ends up "blocking her own players" in practice. In its Analysis of the prospected centers in the 2004 WNBA Draft, the Seattle Storm criticized Taylor scathing ‘As long as Taylor could tie her shoes and walk without tripping on her own feet, she'd be a WNBA prospect. ’ It also felt, she had not been an effective dominating force at UC Santa Barbara despite her great height and facing what it considered relatively weak Big West competition. Supporters however point to her fluid coordination, speed and versatile mobility as being above excellent for someone of her stature and build. Others have pointed out and praised her unlimited potential on the court, natural talent, fast learning and her passing of the ball to other team players, something almost rare for other players of her height, as contributions of her effectiveness as a player.
  • Lindsay Taylor, née le Modèle:Date sport à Poway, Californie, est une joueuse de basket-ball de grande taille (2,03 m). Elle tient sa grande taille notamment de son père (2.11 m). En WNBA, seules Katie Feenstra, Zheng Haixia et Maria Stepanova ont la même taille et seule Małgorzata Dydek (2.18 m) la surpasse. Lors de la Draft WNBA 2004, elle est choisie au second tour par les Houston Comets, qui la transfèrent aux Phoenix Mercury, où elle joue avec Diana Taurasi. Elle ne dispute que cinq rencontres dont 18 minutes contre les Sacramento Monarchs le 27 juin pour 3 points, 2 rebonds et quatre contres. Elle n'est pas conservée la saison suivante. Les Seattle Storm la signent le 13 avril 2006, mais ne la conservent pas. En 2008, elle ne passe que quelques semaines aux Washington Mystics. Sa carrière à l'étranger a été plus réussie, que ce soit en Pologne, en Women's Korea Basketball League en Corée, en Turquie ou en France. Avec Nantes, elle obtient 14,7 pts additionnés de 7,5 rebonds et 1,3 contres, amenant l'équipe à la cinquième place du championnat français 2009-2010. Avec l'équipe nationale américaine, elle remporte la médaille d'argent aux Jeux panaméricains de 2003. En mars 2011, elle revient à Nantes-Rezé en LFB après la fin du championnat chinois et suite à la blessure de l'intérieure croate Sonja Kireta. Elle remporte en 2011 pour la seconde fois consécutive le Challenge Round.
