Boston Celtics rookie Tacko Fall doubled as a basketball coach on Friday morning as All-Star Weekend kicked off in Chicago with the Basketball Without Borders Global Camp.
The sixth annual BWB Global Camp will host 64 of the top boys and girls from 34 countries and regions culminating with a single-elimination tournament on the final day.
On Friday, Fall was joined by Pascal Siakam, Lauri Markkanen and Davis Bertans to help lead the campers through a variety of activities on and off the court, from skill development stations to 5-on-5 games.
The BWB Global Camp is attended by all 30 NBA teams as it offers the campers an incredible opportunity to develop and perform in front of the top decision-makers in the league.
Among the record 30 former BWB campers on opening-night NBA rosters for the 2019-20 season, 14 participated in the BWB Global Camp, including Deandre Ayton, R.J. Barrett, Rui Hachimura, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jamal Murray.
