Former Boston Celtics big man Tacko Fall is looking for a way back into the NBA. Fall signed with the Milwaukee Bucks this summer and is playing for them in the NBA 2K24 Summer League.
Before we take a look at Fall's potential return to the league, let's take a closer look at his height, size and frame. The 27-year-old center stands at 7-foot-6 without shoes. That translates to 2.29 meters and ranks among the tallest in NBA history.
Fall has a wingspan of 8-2, which is the longest in NBA draft combine history, with Manute Boll holding the record at 8-6. The UCF product also has a standing reach of 10-2, which means he can reach a standard NBA rim without jumping.
