7'5" — Tallest HS Player in the World — Mamadou Ndiaye
 

BONUS: He loses the tip!!

Also, the foul at the 48 second mark is awful. Made worse when the official waves off the basket. Horrible!!!

Wow. Man against boys for real.

Peace

Brad - I don't think the call at the 48 second mark was a foul. It looks to me like the official is (after some hesitation) indicating a 3 second violation. Of course that's why he waived off the basket.

I don't think you're right on that Mark ... he went up with a fist, bird-dogged, and pointed to the floor (to indicate that the foul was before the shot).

Also, a 3-second call there would be horrendous ... if he calls it as soon as Mamadou received the pass, fine ... but he makes a continuous move to the basket to score, so 3-seconds does not apply.

That whistle was most definitely for a foul...and continuous motion should have applied.

I wanna know how his defense is. But i guess the best defense is better offense.

I actually worked one of his games this year. It was actually not even funny or anyway near fair for the other team.

This was Varsity right?

yes. but small school (catholic) division.

I like his shoes, :D. Check out the shoes on some of the Home Team players, it must have been "Wear Pink For The Cure" night. And it looked like just a two-man crew.

MTD, Sr.

Not sure what that call was, but it was horrible mechanics if none of us can tell what it was :eek:

I'd like to see this kid play against St Anthony or Milton.....He never broke a sweat in this one.

I read an article about him a few weeks ago but this is the first video I'd seen. He had much better feet and hands than I thought he would.

Also judging by what I saw at the 2:10 mark someone should direct him to the "Don't run backwards thread".

On a side note Brad, could you embed a smaller video than you did...your embed video stretches the page

Changed it ... I had just copied and pasted from YouTube and didn't adjust the size.

Looked fine on my 30" monitor :D

I'm actually going to disagree. There was definitely a foul -- 2 hand push in the back -- when the player caught the ball. You can see that he was moved away from the basket. I will give the official the benefit of the doubt and believe that he was calling THAT foul (late) and correctly ruled that it was before the shooting motion started.
