Ziomara Morrison’s seen it all when it comes to the game of basketball.
At 34, the Chilean center has 19 years of professional hoops experience under her belt. Everywhere she goes, she posts solid numbers and shows no signs of slowing down. Just last year, playing for Kangoeroes Basket Mechelen, she averaged 24 points, 9.2 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.4 steals and one block per game for the best team in Belgium. Since 2005 she’s played in Italy, Spain, the WNBA (2012, San Antonio Silver Stars), Chile, Turkey, Poland, Brazil, France and Belgium. She is now balling in Greece.
A person of few words, Morrison is defined by her actions on the court, and these speak for themselves: 2013 Best Center of the Spanish league, 2019 Chilean League Player of the Year, 2023 Belgian League MVP and numerous Player of the Week awards from all over the world.
With your physical gifts —6-foot-5—you’ve always been in high demand throughout your career. Did you get started in basketball early because of your height?
Yes, I did start playing because of my height. When I was 11, I was already 6-foot-3. I got started just because a coach saw me and invited me to join his team.
