I saw a question online the other day about who’s got the longest wingspan in the NBA. I thought, that’s a fun one, so I went ahead and did some digging.
First off, having a crazy long wingspan is a big deal in basketball. I mean, the longer your arms, the easier it is to block shots, grab rebounds, and just mess with the other team’s players.
So, I started looking into it, checking out which players are known for their wingspans. Turns out, there’s this guy, Tacko Fall, who’s got arms for days. After a while, I found out that his full name is Elhadji Tacko Sereigne Diop Fall, and he was born on December 10, 1995. But hey, that’s not the point – his wingspan is!
After digging some more, I found that Tacko Fall’s wingspan is a whopping 8 feet 2.25 inches. Can you believe that? It’s the longest ever recorded in the NBA. No wonder he’s so good at blocking shots and grabbing rebounds in the paint.
I kept going, trying to find players with similar measurements to Fall. I mean, surely he can’t be the only one with such a crazy reach, right? Some people said a player named Paul has an advantage because of his wingspan, but I just can’t find his exact information. This one is not as easy as Tacko’s.
I spent hours looking at old game footage and reading player profiles, but it’s tough to pin down exact numbers. But one thing’s for sure, those long arms definitely give these guys an edge on the court.

- Wingspan: 8 feet 2.25 inches
Finding out about Tacko Fall’s record-breaking wingspan was a blast. It’s crazy to think how much of an advantage those extra inches give him in the game.
So yeah, that’s my little adventure into the world of NBA wingspans. It was a fun ride, and I definitely learned a lot. Maybe next time, I’ll tackle another basketball mystery!
