Celtics center Tacko Fall conducts Boston Pops during holiday concert

Tacko Fall of the Boston Celtics is both the NBA's tallest player and perhaps its most popular. 

The 7-foot-5 rookie center out of Central Florida has appeared in just three games this season, but those appearances have been greeted with raucous applause for the sudden cult hero. 

Monday night, Fall became one of the tallest conductors in history as he joined the iconic Boston Pops for one of their "Holiday Pops" performances. 

Wearing a 48 double-extra-long tux — per the Boston Globe's Nicole Yang – Fall took the conductor's baton to lead the Pops through a rendition of holiday staple "Sleigh Ride."
