Former Celtics fan favorite Tacko Fall sits courtside at Game 5, gives cushion to woman behind him

Former Celtics big man Tacko Fall sat courtside at Game 5 between the Celtics and Bucks in the Eastern Conference semifinals on Wednesday.

Fall, a favorite among teammates and fans during his time with the franchise, chatted with Brad Stevens, Jayson Tatum and other former teammates before the game, but after all of the fans took their seats and the TNT broadcast pointed out Fall’s presence, many people on social media were quick to note how unfortunate the seating chart might be for anyone behind Fall next to the basket. Fall sat next to the exit row — crucial for someone with legs as long as his — but he could only slouch so much with his 7-foot-5 frame.
