By now, you’re getting used to the drill that comes with Tacko Mania.
The fans love him, and cannot wait for the 7-foot-5 center to check into a game once the lead is secure enough to account for the UCF product’s lack of experience against the NBA’s best big men.
Chants arise, the Senegalese center heads to the scorer’s table, and the crowd goes wild.
It may never get old watching the gentle giant use his soft touch to tap home a miss any more than it will watching one of his thunderous dunks.

But tonight, the former Golden Knight is turning heads with spin moves of an entirely different sort.
Watch the video below to catch a glimpse of Fall guest conducting the Boston Pops, even breaking out an unexpected flourish as he leads the New England orchestral institution in its annual holiday classic.

While it might not be a well-timed block, the fan favorite two way player has got the rhythm of the tune down pat, just in time for the holidays.
