Tacko Mania is out in full force in Portland, Maine.
Rookie center Tacko Fall, who's spending most of the season with the Boston Celtics' G League affiliate, the Maine Red Claws, on a two-way contract, admits it's been impossible to go unnoticed in the city.
"They just turn around and all of sudden you hear somebody yell," Fall told Tom Westerholm of MassLive. "Once they yell, then everybody comes around. Adults usually just come up to you and ask you questions, ask for autographs. ...
"I can't go nowhere in Maine. It's just crazy."
Fall said he's received some odd autograph requests too.
"Foreheads. 'Can you sign my hand?'" he said. "People in Maine, I noticed they're a little more, like, I don't know - a lady wanted to take a picture and she just sat on my lap the other day. They're just very friendly."
