One of the tallest basketballers ever has had his first practice with his new team, the New Zealand Breakers, in Utah. 

Former NBA center Tacko Fall is 2.29 meters tall – seven feet six inches. 

Fall has joined the Breakers for pre-season games against NBA sides the Utah Jazz, the Philadelphia 76ers, and the Oklahoma City Thunder. 

Coach Petteri Koponen joined D'Arcy Waldegrave out of the states to preview their opening clash.
