Celtics Lab 146: Catching up with Tacko Fall on his new book, the CBA, and ties to the Celtics

Fans of the Boston Celtics know the story behind Tacko Fall’s journey from Senegal to the US, making his way through the ranks to get to collegiate and then NBA basketball, signing with the Celtics in 2019 after what was at times a harrowing journey filled with obstacles Fall needed to find a way past to continue chasing his dream as a professional basketball player.

Now, the UCF product has penned a children’s book to inspire others who may feel the path toward their dreams is just too hard to travel. Fall’s book, “Tacko Fall: To New Heights,” is already out in bookstores, co-written with agent Justin Haynes with art by renowned children’s book illustrator Reggie Brown.

To talk to him about his book, his new team in the Chinese Basketball Association, his time in Boston, and the Celtics season to come, Cameron Tabatabaie of the CLNS Media “Celtics Lab” podcast caught up with Fall recently.
