7-Foot-5 Tacko Fall Blocks Little Kids' Shots And It's Adorable

Tacko Fall , the Boston Celtics 7-foot-5 rookie center, doesnt get much playing time. So its good to see hes keeping his defensive skills sharp by blocking little kids shots at a recent Jr. Celtics clinic.

In video posted by the team, the pint-sized ballers shooting at a lowered rim are no match for Falls 8-foot-2 wingspan except one boy who actually gets one into the basket.

These kids may never again have so much fun getting dominated on the court.
