Tacko Fall is really tall and plays college basketball for the UCF Knights. The senior center is considered to be one of the tallest people on the planet. He's a towering 7'6" and has a 10'4" standing reach. In terms of fame, his height might only be rivaled by his fantastic name.
Fall, who's Senegalese, moved to the United States when he was 16 after being discovered in Dakar by a brother of former NBA player Mamadou N'Diaye. He was recruited to play in Texas at a charter school before moving to Ohio, Georgia and then Tennessee. He even lived with Ben Simmons for one year in Houston, and the two trained with Hakeem Olajuwon.
