Tacko Fall

Elhadji Tacko Sereigne Diop Fall shortly named Tacko Fall is a Senegalese basketball player. At present, he is playing for the Boston Celtics of the National Basketball Association (NBA), on a two-way contract with the Maine Red Claws of the NBA G League. He moved to the United States at age 16 and later played college basketball for the University of Central Florida. Fall went undrafted in the 2019 NBA draft but later signed with the Boston Celtics. When measured at the 2019 NBA Draft Combine, he set all-time NBA records for tallest height in shoes (7 ft 7 in, 2.31 m), largest wingspan (8 ft 2.25 in, 250 cm), and highest standing reach (10 ft 2.5 in, 3.11 m). The Boston Celtics’ 2.3m giant has become an NBA fan-favourite, and now the cult hero has bettered James Harden in one vital statistic. The Boston Celtics are overrun with Tacko Fever after another entertaining performance from the cult hero against the Charlotte Hornets on Monday. He played his maiden home match against the Detroit Pistons on Friday and received a standing ovation when Celtics coach Brad Stevens waved him on in the fourth quarter. Just as they did on Friday, the Boston crowd erupted when the seven-foot-five reserve stood up to check with less than three minutes to play.
