7ft tall basketball player Mamadou N’Diaye towers over his fellow athletes – even Man City star Erling Haaland 6ft 4in

BASKETBALL PLAYER Mamadou N’Diaye is a tremendously important figure in the lives of his contemporaries in the athletic world, including Erling Haaland.

The Norwegian attacker, who is 6 feet 4 inches tall, was overshadowed by the Senegalese defender N’Diaye, who stands 7 feet tall. The Norwegian is used to looking down on his Manchester City teammates.

Ederson, the goalkeeper, only got it as far as N’Diaye’s bicep, while Bernardo Silva hardly made it past the chest of his opponent.

After City’s 3-1 victory over West Ham on Saturday, N’Diaye met with the rest of the City players.

“Thanks to @westham @erling.haaland & @bernardocarvalhosilva,” he wrote as the caption for the humorous photo he had taken.

One supporter remarked, “Haaland ain’t supposed to look that tiny,” while another fan made a joke about how they “thought Haaland was huge but…”

Another picture shows that N’Diaye is around the same height as an ancient telephone box, which is typically about 8 feet 3 inches.

The height gap between N’Diaye and another athlete was highlighted when Formula One driver Yuki Tsunoda, who stands at 5 feet 3 inches tall, posed with the basketball player. N’Diaye is significantly taller than Tsunoda.
