17 year-old Mamadou Ndiaye  (7’5″) who plays for Brethren Christian High School in California, is currently two inches taller than the tallest NBA player and still growing.. His height is thought to have been caused by a pituitary tumour (since removed) which also threatened to leave him blind.

According to his coach Jon Bahnsen:

‘Right now his game is basically catch, turn, drop-step, dunk.’
