Tacko Fall might be one of the most beloved players in the NBA, as fans at Boston Celtics home games frequently rally for an appearance for the 7-foot-5 big man in blowouts.

Recently, Fall showcased his tremendous defensive talents in an exhibition event that featured some of the hardest players to guard in Fall’s career.

As you can see, Fall was on a mission to block shots on a lowered rim, and his enormous 8-foot-2 wingspan was on full display against these feisty young ballers.

Despite Fall’s incredible length and size, one intrepid whippersnapper managed to zip a shot just past the outstretched arms of the Celtics big man, which brought a beaming smile to Fall's face. It seems likely that he wasn’t expecting any shot to make it past him, so the genuine surprise on his face was extremely endearing.

Though Tacko Fall has only played 24 NBA minutes with the Celtics, it’s good to see him staying fresh against tough competition.
