Height is an important factor in basketball. Therefore, basketball players tend to be much taller than the average human being. The hilarious pictures of NBA and NFL players dwarfing fans and celebrities standing next to them are nothing new. In fact, it is a pretty regular occurrence in an NBA game.

But Jayson Tatum’s former teammate Tacko Fall is not your average NBA player. In fact, he has the same effect on NBA players and pro-athletes that they generally have on the average Joe.

Tacko Fall is a staggering 7 feet 5 inches tall. He has a mind-blowing wingspan of 8 feet and 2.5 inches. People of average height barely could fit in the frame while taking a picture with him.

Tacko Fall was the tallest player in the NBA during his tenure at Boston. His almost surreal stature made him an instant fan favorite ever since he signed with the Celtics in 2019.

The Senegalese Center towered over a lot of people who are well-known for their stature and build. John Cena is no exception.

In a Friday Night WWE SmackDown event in Boston, Fall made an appearance. And instantly he became the center of attention for his ridiculous height. John Cena, one of the greatest WWE superstars of all time, seems bigger than most people he stands beside. At 6 feet tall, he is not the tallest of individuals by American standards. But his big and muscular body makes him look bigger than his size.

Although not beside Tacko Fall. The former Celtics Center made the WWE star look tiny while standing next to him.
