7ft 6in basketball star Mamadou N’Diaye towers above fellow athletes — even Man City giant Erling Haaland
BASKETBALL star Mamadou N’Diaye is a towering influence on his fellow athletes — even Erling Haaland.
Senegalese N’Diaye, who stands at 7ft 6in, dwarfed the Norwegian striker who, at 6ft 4in, is used to looking down on his Manchester City pals.
Goalkeeper Ederson just reached N’Diaye’s bicep — but Bernardo Silva barely made it past his chest.
N’Diaye met with the City squad after their 3-1 win at West Ham on Saturday.
He captioned the hilarious snap: “Thanks to @westham @erling.haaland & @bernardocarvalhosilva”.
One fan commented: “Haaland ain’t supposed to look that tiny” while another joked “I thought Haaland was huge but…”
In another snap, N’Diaye appears as tall as an old telephone box — which are traditionally 8ft 3ins.
The height difference was between N’Diaye and a fellow sportsman was illustrated when F1 driver Yuki Tsunoda, who measures in at 5ft 3in, posed with the basketballer.
