Tacko Fall—aka "Taco"—is a high school basketball player who has only been playing the game for a couple years now. He also hails from Senegal, where he didn't spend much time focused on the sport as a youngster. So you wouldn't think that Taco would be a guy who would be on many colleges coaches' radars. But you would be wrong. Because, you see, Taco is different from every other high school basketball player out there. Taco is 7-foot-5.

At 7-foot-5, Taco would be the tallest player in the NBA right now, if he was in the NBA. But he's obviously not. He's just a junior at Liberty Christian Prep in Orlando, Fla. And as a result of his height, he's basically unstoppable on the high school level. Just watch him in action in the video above.

The scariest part? As we mentioned above, Taco has only been playing ball for a couple years now. So give him some time—and some actual competition—and he could be making some major noise in the near future.
