Condolences coming in for Margo Dydek's family
A week after suffering a heart attack and falling into a coma, former Connecticut Sun center Margo Dydek passed away.
Dydek, the first overall pick in the 1998 WNBA draft, played 11 seasons in the WNBA including the three years with the Sun from 2005-07. I did not cover the Sun very much in her first two years in Connecticut but did some games in the 2007 season. The 7-foot-2 Dydek had a reputation of being one of the nicer people in the WNBA and that reputation was an accurate one based on the dealings I had with her.
Obviously look for reports to be circulating on the passing of Dydek at the tender age of 37 in the coming hours and days. Here is a well-done column by ESPN's Michelle Voepel centering around Sun coach Mike Thibault's thoughtful recollections of Dydek.
