Boston Celtics center Tacko Fall was a crowd favorite during this year's Las Vegas Summer League. TackoMania has only gotten crazier – and perhaps, weirder – as the summer rolls along.
The weirdness may have reached its pinnacle on Tuesday (or Tacko Tuesday, no less) as the 7-foot-7 big man signed various taco-related products during a fan sign in Boston, per Nicole Yang of The Boston Globe.
Things Tacko Fall signed during an appearance today: a picture of a taco, an actual taco, a box of Ortega taco shells, a felt taco hat, a taco dinner kit, a Taco Bell box, a tray from Taco Bell, and a bag of tortillas. “I don’t know what they’re going to do with it,” he says. pic.twitter.com/sis00ndL8V

Fans are weird, man. Yang Tweeted out that he also signed somebody's forehead.

People are having so much fun at the expense of the Celtics rookie, but good for Tacko on being an awesome sport.
Fall wowed the crowds at this year's Las Vegas Summer League. He mesmerized the fans, not only with his tantalizing stature, but also with his moves and signature no-jump slams.
The craze for Fall was nowhere near this high during this year's NBA draft, however. All 30 teams passed on the 23-year old out of UCF.
However, the Celtics decided to give the big man a shot during Summer League. They liked what they saw from Fall and signed him to a contract for this upcoming season.
Still, many are skeptical on whether Fall's game can translate smoothly to the NBA. His 7-foot-7, 290-lb. frame gives him a disadvantage against athletic and quick guards who can easily blow by him. However, Fall believes his mobility is an underrated part of his game. Moreover, the luxury of having a guy that huge is just too hard to pass up.
The Celtics should give their undrafted rookie center a long leash this upcoming season.
