Celtics rookie Tacko Fall appeared on “60 Minutes” Sunday night to discuss his experience being recruited out of Africa at the age of 16, and the shady world of human trafficking designed to bring young basketball players to America.
Fall’s path eventually worked out despite a few hiccups with his visa, but for many other teenagers, they become ensnared in a world of middlemen who are looking to prey on teenagers and hoping to hit it big in the NBA.
Fall, at 7 feet 5 inches, who was born and raised in Senegal, immigrated to the United States from Dakar.
