Ann Meyers - "I was a muppett"

[EricSD]

I was watching the Russia, Brazil game and they were talking about a former Russian player who was 7'2", and not thin. She played in the same era as Meyers. Ann said "Yeah i played against her - I was a muppett... compared to her"

She came up with it really fast. Thought it was very funny. I enjoy listening to the announcers. They seem fairly knowledgeable and they talk about the teams.

That's an insult to Muppets; they're much smarter than Ann Meyers.

I've actually enjoyed her commentary. i've not seen every game but i've appreciated how blunt they are when they disagree with coaching decisions for the various coaches.

Uljana Semjonova wasn't 7' 2" but close.

The woman trying to box her out is 6' 4", so was seven inches taller than Meyers.

Semjonova never lost a game in official international competition. Not many can say that.

Guess which one she is?



Was her nickname "Semi"?
