Eva Horáková, née Němcová (born 3 December 1972), is a Czech former basketball player.

Life and career

The youngest of three children of Jiřina Němcová and Zdeněk Němec, she began her basketball career at the age of 18. She played for the Czech Republic national team in 1992 Summer Olympics, which finished at sixth place.

On 28 April 1997 Němcová was the 4th overall pick in the 1997 WNBA draft, being selected by the Cleveland Rockers. Her debut game was played on 21 June 1997 in a 56 - 76 loss to the Houston Comets where she recorded 5 points, 2 assists and 1 block. Němcová would go on to play 111 games in her WNBA career (from 1997 to 2001), all 111 of them being with the Cleveland Rockers.

She was named a member of the All-WNBA first team and second team in 1997 and 1998 respectively. During the 2000 WNBA season, she set a league record by making 66 consecutive free throws. She was the ninth WNBA player to score 1,000 career points.

Her final WNBA game ever was played on 21 July 2001 in a 56 - 41 victory over the Charlotte Sting. In her final game, Němcová played for 12 minutes and missed all four of her field goal attempts, but was still able to record 1 point, 1 assist and 2 rebounds.

In 2005, Němcová won a gold medal with the Czech national team at the Eurowomen tournament.
