Mamadou N’Diaye – 7’6″ – Basketball

Mamadou N’Diaye is a professional basketball player from Senegal. In 2010, he was discovered in a gymnasium in Dakar and traveled to the US to play for UC Irvine. Back when he played in the NCAA first division, he was the tallest player of the league, standing at an impressive 7 feet and 6 inches. 

Considered to be a talented shot-blocker, N’Diaye had experienced more joy in his college days than in his professional career since he failed to be drafted in 2016 and never made an impact in the American professional leagues. He signed with the Mexican team Fuerza Regia de Monterrey in 2018.
