The Norwegian football star Erling Braut Haaland is famous for his extraordinary physical strength and height, with which he stands out on the green. But when African basketball giant Mamadou N’Diaye asked him for a joint photo after the match with West Ham (3:1) and then published it on the social network, he presented the Scandinavian in a completely different light. The photo made the world laugh, also because of Haaland’s “dwarf” teammate Bernando Silva.
In recent days, a viral photo has been circulating around the world showing the very tall basketball player Mamadou N’Diaye and three football stars of Manchester City hugging. The 30-year-old Senegalese, who, despite his extraordinary height, did not create top achievements in professional basketball and has been playing in Mexico for the last few years, visited the European and English football champions after the championship game in London, where they defeated West Ham 3:1 at the end of last week.
Ndiaye loves football and likes to attend such spectacles, but when he invited Erling Haaland, Bernardo Silva and Ederson in front of the lens , due to the differences in body height, a photo was created that shocked many people, and then made them laugh.
City’s top scorer, a self-confident Scandinavian, did not stand out much on it. There was no shortage of humorous comments on social media, with some going so far as to let Haaland know that he has now experienced how Lionel Messi, who has always been known as one of the shorter footballers, feels in real life . The difference in height stood out even more significantly in the case of Bernardo Silva. The Portuguese, otherwise 173 cm tall, did not even reach the Senegalese’s shoulders. He resembled a dwarf, and compared to Ndiaye, the Brazilian goalkeeper Ederson , who otherwise measures 188 cm, was distinctly small.
N’Diaye was once the attraction of the NCAA league, where his great rival was his compatriot Tacko Fall . Both are 229 cm tall. When their two clubs competed in the NCAA league in 2015 (US Irvine and Central Florida), the world witnessed the showdown between the tallest participants in the competition, who measure a total of 458 centimeters!.

N’Diaye was looking forward to a narrow 61:60 victory after overtime. He later never played in the NBA due to health issues. He joined Golden State in summer league, then made contact with Detroit, but never made a deal. In recent seasons, he has been performing in Mexico.
