About Tacko Fall
El Hadji Tacko Sereigne Diop Fall (born 10 December 1995) is a Senegalese professional basketball player for the Philadelphia 76ers of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He played college basketball for the UCF Knights. Fall played his first two NBA seasons on a two-way contract with the Boston Celtics splitting time with their NBA G League affiliate, the Maine Red Claws before joining the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2021. Fall has made the NBA G League All-Defensive Team in 2020 and 2022, leading the G League in blocks in the latter year.
At 7ft 6in (2.29m), Fall was one of the tallest NBA players and is one of the tallest living humans. At the 2019 NBA Draft Combine, his measurements set all-time NBA records for tallest height in shoes (7ft 7in; 2.31m), longest wingspan (8ft 2.25in; 250cm), and highest standing reach (10ft 2.5in; 3.11m). The NBA now lists players' heights without shoes, so Fall is listed at 7ft 6in (2.29m).
