Tacko Fall had to intervene on a fan’s behalf during Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals on Wednesday.
Fall was a surprise attendee at Game 5 in Boston on Wednesday. Fall is still beloved within the Celtics organization, and could be seen greeting his former teammates and coaches during warmups. He also had courtside seats, which TNT focused on during their broadcast of the game. That was unfortunate news for the woman sitting behind the 7-foot-6 center.

The shot got a ton of memes and jokes. Most were sympathetic to the other fan who had to try to see over Fall from her second-row seat.

Tacko Fall just gave the woman sitting behind him a large cushion to sit on so she can now see over him.

Fall makes even tall people look short. They have to get the guy a seat where he’s not blocking everyone, or at least upgrade the woman. That’s just cruel otherwise.
