WWE Smackdown was in Beantown for Friday night's show, and for Boston Celtics big man Tacko Fall, this presented a great opportunity for him to catch the spectacle live. The rookie even had an opportunity to personally meet one of his idols, John Cena, in a backstage moment that was captured by the cameras of WWE.

It's just amazing how a 7-foot-5 Tacko Fall makes John Cena look like a small dude. The WWE superstar is by no means a diminutive man at 6-foot-1 and 250 lbs, but in this particular occasion, he was simply dwarfed by the Celtics rookie. Fall has that effect on most people, actually.
This has been one of the biggest reasons why Fall has become so popular among fans, despite his lack of playing time for Boston. After going undrafted in last June's NBA Draft, the former Central Florida standout signed with the Celtics on a two-way contract. To date, he has only made a grand total of six appearances for the squad, averaging 3.2 points and 1.8 rebounds in 4.0 minutes of action.
Unfortunately for him, Fall has not been able to crack head coach Brad Stevens' rotation thus far. He has been a luxury stash for Boston, who has been outstanding all season long. Right now, the C's are in possession of a 41-17 record, and are sitting at the third spot in the East. They are just half a game behind the second-seeded Toronto Raptors. By how things are going right now, the home court advantage for the first round of the Playoffs is Boston's to lose.
