OK, so the contrast between Tacko Fall and Tremont Waters doesn't quite match that of 7-foot-7 Manute Bol and 5-3 Muggsy Bogues, but you get the idea.
The two Celtics rookies, now playing for Boston's Gatorade League affiliate, the Maine Red Claws, posed the same way as the contrasting Washington Bullets teammates did back in 1987. The Red Claws posted the photo on their website and Twitter user and Polish Celtics fan Tomek Kordylewski (@Timi_093) was among the first to make the comparison.
Fall is listed at 7-5 by the Celtics, and has been listed as tall as 7-7 in other places. There's no disputing Waters is 5-10.
The Red Claws opened their season Saturday in Delaware.
