Retired NBA center Shawn Bradley, one of the tallest players in league history, offered some words of wisdom to Tacko Fall following UCF's elimination from the NCAA Tournament on Sunday.
"Go out there and work hard. Be yourself. Don't try to become something that they're trying to make you," Bradley told TMZ Sports while at the Los Angeles International Airport. "Do what you know you can do, and the biggest thing for me - for anyone - is surround yourself with good people.
"Tell him to call me if you see him. I'll give him some advice," Bradley added.
Fall, who's the same height as Bradley at 7-foot-6, moved from Senegal to the United States at the age of 16. He considered declaring for the 2018 NBA Draft but ultimately decided to return for his senior season at UCF.
