7'6" Mamadou N'Diaye gets stuck in middle seat on flight
Mamadou N'Diaye is too large for this planet.
Nothing built or conceived by man was made with N'Diaye's enormous, 7-foot-6 frame in mind. UC Irvine's giant, Congolese center is an extreme, biological outlier, and sometimes extreme, biological outliers get stuck in the middle seat on a cruddy commercial flight.
Elika Sadeghi posted a picture of N'Diaye's plight. Somehow, this canoe of a man recently ended up in the smallest space imaginable on the airplane.
A friend of mine was on a flight with 7'6" Mamadou N'Diaye and the rest of UCI bball today. Middle seat. Coach. ? pic.twitter.com/gEu3irH08R

And this guy? Who is this smug so-and-so? IS THAT YOU, PHIL JACKSON?
I hope they're friends, because no one but your friend should look at you like this as you wrestle with the stark realties of a world that resents your existence on the most basic, physical level.
Look at that face. That's the face of a man who not only doesn't offer the aisle seat, but chortles at the sight of a trapped man-ostrich trying to fold his knee caps under a headrest.
Put him under the jail. Right next to whoever who booked Mamadou's flight (if it was Mamadou ... well, you did this to you, guy).
Dan is on Twitter. His greatest moment of airline heroics involved trying to save a sleeping man from being hit by a moving drink cart. It ended in him apologizing.
