Boston Celtics fans got their first look at Tacko Fall in the regular season and it seems like he is the most beloved player in team history.

The Boston Celtics have been ravaged with injuries. This isn’t necessarily a good thing, but there definitely was some good to come from it.

Ever since the offseason, one player has been at the front of Celtics fan’s minds. Tacko Fall was a star on the 1st day he signed with the team.

What’s not to love about Fall? He’s humongous, he has a great personality and some great basketball skills. The guy barely has to leave the ground to dunk the ball.

Fall has had a decent amount of success in the G-League. In 8 games he averaged 13.6 points and 9.3 rebounds per game.

This season there has been one missing piece in the Celtics lineup. They need a dominant big man. Fall might not be that yet, but he looks like he has a ton of raw talent.

Due to all of the Celtics injuries, Fall was able to get the call-up and had a hell of a night on Friday. Fall didn’t play a ton of minutes, but he probably had the moment of the night.

It was late in the 4th quarter and Boston Celtics fans wanted one thing, Tacko Fall. The crowd was chanting his name and begging Brad Stevens to put him in.

Stevens himself even asked the crowd to get loud and then he made the call. Tacko got his first regular-season minutes at TD Garden. It’s a moment that you have to see.

I don’t think I can remember the Garden going this crazy for a player. Especially one that isn’t a major part of the rotation.

In 5 minutes, Fall had 5 points and 2 rebounds. Pretty good for such a short amount of playing time.

Fall can do no wrong. Everything he does Celtics fans fall in love with. He probably will end up with a ton of All-Star votes.

Tacko Fall is every Celtics fan’s favorite player and there love for him knows no bounds. Hopefully, he will be staying in Boston for a long time.
