NBA fans LOVE Tacko Fall … ’cause despite the 7’6″ center only logging 3 games this season — THEY WANNA SEE HIM IN THE ALL-STAR GAME!!!
The Association announced its top vote-getters so far for the annual classic … and Fall currently sits at No. 6 in the Eastern Conference frontcourt standings with 110,269 votes.
It’s an impressive number, considering Timberwolves superstar Karl Anthony-Towns has just 173,129 votes over on the Western Conference side.

Of course, it’s hilarious because Fall has only played MINUTES this season — he hasn’t spent too much time on the Celtics’ active roster because of mediocre play and a concussion he suffered for being too tall (seriously, that story is wild).
But, all the love is a testament to how much people really dig Fall — who’s been an Internet sensation for his giant size ever since he killed it in college at UCF.
Fall ain’t the only quirky name on the NBA’s fan vote list … Lakers bench player Alex Caruso also notched nearly 100,000 votes, mostly because he’s a hilarious internet meme too!!
As for if the NBA will actually let the guys play in the game despite not really doing much in this season … don’t count on it — the fan vote only makes up 50 percent of the total voting players need to make the game.
But, hey, if it’s what the people want … make it happen, Adam Silver!!
