The game of basketball is no stranger to towering giants who dominate the court with their sheer size and skill. Height is a key factor in basketball, even though power and agility are often emphasized. It’s an asset that Tacko Fall, standing at a towering 7’6″, possesses in abundance. The Senegalese big man has had quite an interesting journey so far, from reaching dizzying heights in college basketball to making waves in the NBA before venturing out to China.

Fall’s journey from the NBA to China and back has been a rollercoaster ride. His stint in China saw him dominate the court. But now it seems this giant is looking for a comeback into NBA’s vibrant courts. His recent Summer League shot left fans bewildered and sparked some interesting comments.
