Boston Celtics fans are crazy about Tacko Fall, but the great man’s number one fan may be his teammate, Jaylen Brown.
Fall was electrifying in the fourth quarter of Friday night’s victory over the Orlando Magic. The deep leap of the 2.13 meter phenomenon and the subsequent dunk left Brown and the rest of the C bench in a frenzy.
Celtics-Magic Overreactions: Tacko / Pritchard mania is here to stay
If only it were in front of a crowded TD Garden.
Brown carried his excitement with Tacko in his post-game interview
“Dude, you’re going to have to give Tacko your [expletive] respect! “Brown told Chris Forsberg of NBC Sports Boston.” You will see the work. Come on, Tacko was at the gym with me. Come on, man. I am the coach. …
“He definitely made the most of every opportunity he had and it was nice to see him go out and score some easy baskets.
While Tacko may have stolen the show, Brown was excellent for the Celtics short-handed. The 24-year-old finished with 21 points and 8 assists to tie his career high.
Then for the C’s it is a showdown against the New York Knicks Sunday at 1 pm ET.
