Basketball is a team sport. Although it's fun to talk about individual fights, simple fights rarely tell the whole story. Nevertheless, it would be irresponsible do not to talk about Zion Williamson vs. Tacko Fall. Be warned: If Zion and Tacko meet at the rim during Sunday's NCAA Tournament match on Sunday between No. 1 Duke and No. 9 UCF, the East Coast may well break free tectonic.

Williamson is Duke's beginner superstar (6 feet 7 inches) and 285 pounds. He plays as a mix between Charles Barkley and the Royal Navy at the height of the Napoleonic wars. Its highs will hurt your computer. So please be compassionate when you click on Play.

Williamson is a problem for any defense, even before you take into account his ability to levitate to the David Blaine.

Sion seldom meets his match (apart from the very secret aerospace laboratories in the middle of the desert), but Fall may have the physical gifts that would give him a hard time, at least in painting. The UCF senior center measures 7 feet 6 inches and, according to the Knights official website, tipped the scales to 310 pounds. As Tracy Wolfson of CBS discovered, Tacko is rather big.

In the first round against VCU, Fall had 13 points, 18 rebounds and 5 blocks, including that nonchalant flat trick on the rim.

What will happen if Zion tries to go to Tacko? Andy Katz of NCAA.com told Fall how hard it would be to fall asleep on him. "It's very difficulthe said, "I will not allow it, I will not allow it, I will not allow him to put me on one of his tapes."

When asked about Fall's comments, Williamson gave the kind of response you like before a heavyweight fight. (He was polite and sensitive.)

Fall, too, was laudatory in his praise for Williamson. "It's about one, pretty much, we've never seen any weight or size," Fall said. "He's amazing, he's so fast."

Nail the furniture, tape the windows and tape the puppy: Tacko Fall and Zion Williamson will either collide with the force of 10,000 suns or shake hands respectfully.
