Former Boston Celtics big man Tacko Fall may no longer be on the team he first played for in the NBA (and is headed to China, in fact), but that doesn’t mean he’s forgotten about the players he broke into the league alongside, especially star Celtics wing Jaylen Brown.
Speaking at TJ Kidd’s celebrity basketball game with Bally Sports’ Brandon “Scoop B” Robinson on the Georgia native’s inclusion in rumors tying him to a potential Kevin Durant trade, the former Celtics center said: “I think Jaylen is very disrespected. I think he doesn’t get the credit he deserves sometimes; he’s a great player.”
“Jaylen is nice … he’s just got to keep doing what he’s doing. He’s very focused; he’s very locked in. He knows what he wants to accomplish, and they’re doing well.”

“The outside noise doesn’t really matter,” added the former UCF player. “It’s what the organization thinks of him, and I know the organization thinks greatly of him, and I know he loves Boston, so that’s all that matters.”
