WATCH: Tacko Fall helps design his own custom bluetooth anime speaker

Boston Celtics fan favorite Tacko Fall recently teamed up with custom audio specialists Tivoli Audio to create his own custom speakers that reflect his unique persona.

Fall wants something that isn’t just his favorite color (black), but also incorporates anime, specifically Naruto — a favorite of his — in its design aesthetic.

Why anime?

“You learn a lot of life lessons in those shows,” he explained,” stories where you always start like the kid that has the least powers [that] everyone picks on … then all of the sudden one day he just awakened some kind of powers, and he’s at the top and everyone respects him.”

Sounds a little familiar, eh?

But, never one to go lightly, the Senegalese center also wanted something that reflects his transcontinental journey to the NBA, and his belief in needing to pay it forward to the next generation.

He explained how he wanted something that would be “about [his] roots and always remembering where [he] came from, and … not forgetting that [he has] a duty to … give back and be a role model for kids back home.”

So what did Tacko’s custom speaker end up looking like?

You’re going to have to watch the video to find out.
