Mamadou N’Diaye (7’6”)

At a towering 7’6”, Mamadou N’Diaye has always been a star, having been plucked from college basketball when he was just 18 years old because of his spark of talent which simply couldn’t be ignored. Originally from Senegal, he was the tallest in his division and was actually playing soccer on the road before an American coach picked him and took him to the U.S. on a whim, despite the fact that N’Diaye couldn’t speak English at all. He decided to stay and go to college in the U.S to continue to hone his skills and then got drafted into the NBA in 2016. Even though he hasn’t signed yet with a team, he is often recognized for his size and talent and we’re sure he will become a top player soon.

Kerri Lee Walsh Jennings: 6’3”

Nicknamed ‘Six Feet of Sunshine’ for her lovely personality, Kerri Lee Walsh Jennings is a volleyball player who stands at 6’3” and has been very successful in the sport, with her name always on the leaderboard in nearly every game that she’s played. For her height, she’s a light 157 pounds, so this must help her in being light and agile on the court. She has the most number of Olympic medals in the sport of volleyball, with 1 bronze and 3 gold medals, and she has the most number of victories at a women’s tournament, a staggering 133 wins and an amazing winning streak of 112 matches – wow! It seems that aside from having a successful career in professional sports, she can also balance her home life quite well, being a mother of 3, but we’re sure she’s taking care of things with the help of her husband, who is a top volleyball player as well.
