It has to be a stroke of bad luck if you spend a lot of money to see a NBA playoff game in an exclusive courtside section and end up sitting right behind one of the league’s tallest players: Tacko Fall .
What was described above happened indeed to a female fan who attended the TD Garden to witness Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinal series between the Milwaukee Bucks and the Boston Celtics.
Far from being happy to have the pleasure of sitting a few inches from one of the most popular players in the NBA, the woman’s face expressed her dissatisfaction with her limited view of the court, despite being only a few meters from it.
The good thing is that this story had a happy ending. A worker at the Boston sports arena provided the woman with a couple of cushions so she could raise herself high enough in her chair.
For his part, the 26-year-old African giant smiled and shook hands with the woman in question, as a kind of celebration for solving the problem without much drama.
Not everything went well for this girl, who was the subject of one of the most interesting moments of the 2022 playoffs, as the Celtics lost that game by a close three-point margin and were placed 2-3 down in the series. However, we all know that the Boston team ended up winning the series in a maximum of 7 games.
Tacko Fall numbers in the NBA
The Senegalese-born athlete has only made 37 appearances in the NBA after three seasons, indicating how little chance he has been given by the Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers.
In just 6.2 minutes each game, the 2.29 meter tall center averages 2.2 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 0.8 blocks. In addition, he registers a field goal percentage of 67% and a disappointing 32% in free throws.
