Twitter Reacts Jubilantly As Celtics Sign Center 7-Foot-6 Tacko Fall

Having asked for Tacko Fall all July, Boston Celtics fans are set to receive him.

The Celtics signed the 7-foot-6 prospect to a contract Thursday, officially tying the center to the team. Having joined the Celtics on a non-guaranteed Exhibit 10 contract, Fall impressed Boston this month with his attitude and performances during the NBA Summer League.

Fall also became a cult hero to Celtics and NBA fans, which probably explains the jubilant reaction to the team’s announcement of his signing.

Some who watched and engaged with Fall during his four seasons at the University of Central Florida congratulated him on the contract, as did his representatives at BDA Sports.

Congrats to @tackofall99 whose journey to this moment is a testament to those who have a dream and work hard to turn that dream into reality https://t.co/aWI4xztVEz

When I worked at the UCF publix, @tackofall99 would come in pretty regularly. He's one of the nicest people I've spoken to. I'm so so happy for him. ? https://t.co/HMJlP2EBWm
