Talking to Tacko: Catching up with the Boston Celtics alumnus about his new book and more

Basketball player, occasional newsbreaker — and now children’s book author: get up to speed with what Tacko Fall has been up to.

Tacko Fall may not be on the Boston Celtics roster anymore, but even all the way across the Pacific Ocean playing basketball in China in his new home of Xinjiang, the Senegalese center will always be part of the wider Celtics community.

Since leaving Boston to join the Cleveland Cavaliers in free agency, the Dakar native has been keeping very busy while also staying in touch with the friends he made while a Celtic, even penning a new children’s book called “Tacko Fall: To New Heights” co-written by his agent Justin Haynes and illustrated by famed children’s book artist Reggie Brown.

Our own Cameron Tabatabaie recently caught up with the fan-favorite big man to talk to him about playing in the CBA on a recent episode of the CLNS Media “Celtics Lab” podcast, what Xinjiang is like, how he stays in touch with his former teammates, and of course his book
