This weekend’s Summer League action gave us the answer to the question that everybody wants to know: “What is a giant to a Tacko?”

A crazy video went viral of NBA big man Tacko Fall speaking with Hall of Fame center Dikembe Mutombo at Summer League in Las Vegas. Though both men are seven-footers, Fall towered right over Mutombo. Take a look.

Mutombo was listed at 7-foot-2 during his NBA playing career but may have shrunk a bit by now at 56 years old. Meanwhile, Fall, 26, stands 7-foot-6 and a very loud 7-foot-6 at that.

Another angle of the Summer League encounter showed Fall even having to bend down in order to speak with Mutombo.

Fall, who remains a free agent after spending last season with the Cleveland Cavaliers organization, still has a long way to go to catch up to Mutombo’s legendary NBA career. Mutombo was an eight-time All-Star and four-time Defensive Player of the Year, among other accolades. When it comes to pure height, though, Fall definitely has Mutombo’s number.
