Tacko Fall is going to be playing quite a bit for the Maine Red Claws this season. The Boston Celtics' rookie center signed a two-way contract with the Celtics late in the preseason in order to spend more time developing his game.
That said, the 7-foot-6 center had one thing that he would need before spending a lot of time in Portland, or in Boston, for that matter. He needed a winter coat, something he never really needed after living in Senegal and Florida for most of his life. That's not something that's easy for a guy as big as Fall to find, but he managed to do it.
With some help from the founder of the apparel company Canada Goose, Fall got a custom-sized jacket that will keep him warm during the winter. Here's a video of him trying on the jacket, as captured by NBC Sports Boston's Abby Chin,
Uh, yeah. Safe to say that is a huge jacket. And the shoes that he's wearing with it? They're sharp too.
It's also nice to see that Fall is in good spirits as he continues to deal with a concussion that he suffered after hitting his head on the ceiling. He won't be playing in the team's home opener on Friday night, but hopefully, he won't be out much longer than that.
