New York Knicks forward Marcus Morris can't find it in his heart to be upset at Boston Celtics big man Tacko Fall, who previously received plenty of chants from the Madison Square Garden faithful during the team's visit to New York last week.
Standing at a towering 7-foot-5, Fall has quickly garnered the reputation of gentle giant, always willing to make the most of his minutes off the bench and sign any autographs he's asked to pen.
“How could you be upset at Tacko Fall?,” said Morris, who played for the Celtics last season. “I definitely understand where the [fans] are coming from. I wish it would've been the other way, for us to beat their ass and them put him there, but Tacko man, I've heard enough good things about him. It's hard to be upset with him, or them in general.”
I asked Marcus Morris whether the whole Tacko Fall mania at MSG last Saturday bothered him. His response was priceless. #Knicks #Celtics pic.twitter.com/99iP0qy8Ml

Fall got his number called in garbage time, as the Celtics already had a sizable advantage over the Knicks and looked to rest their starters. The lovable big man was signed to the last two-way spot on the roster after impressing in workouts and a successful preseason.
The rookie out of the University of Central Florida put up four points and three rebounds in his four minutes of play, giving The Garden something to cheer about after the Knicks were dismantled 118-95 on Saturday.
