The date was November 18th, 2015, just Tacko Fall's second-ever college game. The highly anticipated tip-off lived up its billing, with both players missing the first swipe. Before N'daiye's team retrieved the loose ball. It was a memorable matchup for the ages, we saw the paired block each other's shots, get there massive legs tangled in the open court and make big plays for their teams in the clutch. Ultimately is was N'daiye's team who walked away with the win, his one and only field goal late were enough to see out victory edge out UCF 61-60 in overtime. An eventful matchup for both players despite their underwhelming stats.
However, this matchup stems a lot deeper than just two of the tallest players in the country playing against each other, as Tacko and N'Daiye both from Dakar in Senegal, have an interesting backstory worth touching on, seeing as it was N'Diaye's brother, Ibrahim, who persuaded Tacko to take up basketball in the first place. As we progress with today's video we'll also focus on N'Daiye's whereabouts now in 2019 and see how his career path contrasts with what we're seeing unfold with our other favorite Senegalese giant in Boston.
So Mamadou N'Daiye back in Senegal in 2010 when casually playing basketball a foreign sport to him at the time in a local gym, was identified in 2010 by a D1 assistant coach for you guessed it - his insane height. There and then on the spot Mamadou was given the opportunity to travel to the United States, shortly upon his arrival while not speaking a word of English. American doctors discovered a golf ball-sized tumor in his head, one that was causing him severe headaches and threatening his vision long term. Fortunately, charitable donations paid for treatment and the condition was seen to, not too long after a married couple in California, offered to become his guardians.
In high school N'Daiye first attended Stoneridge prep in California, Interscholastic Federation rules would force Mamadou to change school for his sophomore year, and shortly after enrolling at Brethren Christian school. N'Daiye was approached by the Guinness World Records, who came to determine the authenticity of claims that N'Daiye was the tallest player in high school. That year as a sophomore was a real struggle for N'Daiye, who due to his poor fitness after rehabilitation. Could barely make his way up and down the court, his junior year was a different story. He averaged 24 points and 14 rebounds and was impossible to guard because of his height. Much like Tacko did a few years later, N'Daiye's highlights went viral online. Videos of dominating the smaller high school competition raked in millions of views His senior year, he averaged 27 points, 14 rebounds, and 4.5 blocks, and after the year received all-state honors and numerous player of the year awards that earned him the status of a 4-star recruit.
N'daiye received D1 offers from Oregon, Georgetown, and Pepperdine before committing to UC Irvine, wherefrom the moment he stepped on campus he was instantly recognized as the tallest player in college basketball. N'Diaye would spend 3 seasons with the Anteaters, featuring in 86 games. For his college career, N'Diaye averaged 10 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.5 blocks and shot 68% from the field. His best year came as a senior, where he captured his second big west defensive player of the year award, was named first-team all-big west, broke the school's record in all-time total blocked shots, and led the anteaters to a program-best 28 wins. N'daiye gained traction as an NBA prospect and some draft boards had him projected as a second-round pick, opposed to staying on for a senior year, in April 2016 he declared for the NBA draft, and although he went undrafted. Did receive some interest from NBA teams, N'Diaye played for the golden state warriors in the 2016 NBA summer league. Though in 3 games was used sparingly only to defend inbounders during crunch time, He later signed with the Detroit Pistons only to be waived that same afternoon, and then tried his luck with the grand valley vipers in the NBA G-League. But never saw the floor and was waived prior to the team's regular-season opener..
