Last season, Tacko Fall popped up on some NBA All-Star ballots.
This season, as he plays a little bit more, the Boston Celtics big man once again showed up on a number of ballots.
The NBA on Thursday announced the starters for this year's All-Star Game, and the vote totals for everyone were released shortly thereafter.
Fall finished 22nd among Eastern Conference frontcourt players, ahead of guys like John Collins, Rui Hachimura and DeAndre Jordan.
The 7-foot-5 center received three player votes to start, 106,303 fan votes and zero media votes. Not too bad for a guy who has appeared in just six games this season.
Nevertheless, Fall is a delightful human being who is a fan favorite in Boston. It's nice to see him get a little recognition from fans and his peers.
