VIDEO: Tacko Fall Might Already Be a Better 3-Point Shooter Than Ben Simmons With Show in Warm-ups
By Mark Powell
7-6 behemoth Tacko Fall might not have the kind of analytics cult following as the likes of Boban, but he's putting in the work. Before the Celtics game against the Knicks on Friday night, Fall was seen shooting some three-pointers, because why the hell not?

If Tacko actually puts up a corner three with more than two seconds remaining on the shot clock, Brad Stevens might have an aneurysm. Still, to actually throw up some attempts in front of your home fans at the Boston Garden, in plain sight, is more than most NBA big men would be comfortable doing. Heck, it's a greater feat than Ben Simmons accomplished up until a preseason game early this Fall.
Sure, Fall's shot needs some tweaking. There's a strange quirk on the upward motion in which he briefly pauses. Yet, who's actually going to get up high enough to block his attempt in the first place?

Is there anything this guy can't do?
