Shaquille O?Neal felt dwarfed after a long time

Shaquille O?Neal was recently seen making an appearance at one of the WNBA All-Star Games. The match was attended by various other former players, including fellow Lakers legend Kareem Abdul Jabbar. As he was shaking hands with the 76-year-old, Shaq?s sight fell upon CBA Player Tacko Fall.

Tacko Fall?s NBA Career

Tacko is not only one of the tallest people to ever play for the NBA, but he is also one of the tallest living people in the world. His height provides him the advantage of being able to dunk a ball without even having to jump.

With the advantages, however, came the disadvantages as well. Tacko?s slow foot speed and unagile frame resulted in him being a bad defender. This was the reason why no NBA team held on to him for more than two seasons.

The player was able to attain better success after switching to the Xinjiang Flying Tigers in 2022. He played 33 games for the team last season. In that period, Tacko averaged 13.8 points, 3.3 blocks and 10.1 rebounds per game. He also garnered attention after shooting an average of 73.4% from the field.
