It's not everyday you see a basketball player conducting an orchestra. And though they're all usually really tall, you don't normally see basketball players standing at almost 7 1/2 feet tall either. Though that's just what you get in this video.

To give you an idea of just how tall he is, Shaq 'only' stood at 7'1" and Michael Jordan at 6'6".

A native of Senegal, Tacko is the tallest person ever to conduct the Boston Pops Orchestra. When he's not conducting world renowned symphonies, you can catch on the court for the Maine Red Claws and the Boston Celtics.

Check out the video below as he is introduced to the stage and leads the symphony in their rendition of 'Sleigh Ride'. I think it was definitely a slam-dunk! See what I did there?
